Experimental Shorts

A journey from the microscopic to the planetary, these ten works collectively map an unsettled present and an unknown future. Beginning in the quiet, observational terrain of nature, light, and breath, and unfolding through questions of memory, identity, and power, they gradually expand into fractured landscapes of bodies, history, and ultimately, speculative imaginations.
Both tactile in form and conceptual in scope, this collection attempts at proposing other ways of sensing, resisting, and becoming. Whether digital, archival or cosmic, each work vibrates with a refusal to settle, inviting us into a cinema of nuance, transformation, and radical possibility.
