MA work

I’m interested in expressing my personal ideas through my films, as I’m interested in storytelling. My ideas can be a philosophical response to a word or an event, or re-interpretations of a dream. I enjoy playing with metaphors and symbolism in writing, as well as in visualisation.


My graduation film, How Life Tastes, is about personal doubt, ‘Where am I heading?’, which is paralleled with events surrounding a Korean space launch of a satellite that lost its orbit.
