MA work
The core ingredients of my work are the warmth of humanity, and imagination and inspiration from everyday life. As I work, I enjoy being the casting director, set designer and director, creating a world from my observation and imagination to communicate to people.
Image-making is a language that is understood internationally and is a unique ability given to human beings. My strength is my ability to use images to communicate to people all over the world, bringing an emotional atmosphere to people in order to move them.
