STATEMENT,

IF YOU WILL

In a rapidly evolving tech landscape, I'm captivated by its origins, flaws, and aftermath. My fascination with technology extends to its errors and failures, akin to unraveling the mysteries of movie magic. Film, for me, transcends its conventional Hollywood narrative. It serves as a medium through which I express my unique vision and creativity. While I maintain a strong connection to traditional filmmaking, I'm intrigued by the possibilities that exist beyond its mainstream confines. Amidst technological collapses and failures, I see not destruction but opportunity. I gather the shattered fragments, glitches, and errors, repurposing them into meaningful expressions of art. Embracing my own missteps, I witness the transformative power of failure firsthand. I seek to delve into the depths of failure, uncovering the beauty within the broken, and redefining what it means to make mistakes.
