About
I began gathering stories and testimonies by prioritizing listening and curiosity, driven by the desire to share what I observed and experienced around me, giving an expressive form to the complexity of life.
Its inequities, its injustices.
I started with writing, focusing on stories and reportage, and later moved on to photography and video, without ever abandoning the path I had taken or the skills I had gained along the way.
I realized that within me, a deep need and desire were growing to bring those impulses to life and embody those choices.
Today, documentary filmmaking is the language through which I express myself and attempt to freeze time, to highlight a moment, a subject, a story, with the hope that it may serve as inspiration for those who watch, or at least pay tribute to the people and struggles depicted.
