Film

This narrative-led experimental documentary weaves together video recordings spanning five years, merging documented events from pre-pandemic and pandemic-era state control. It incorporates a performance piece responding to the filmmaker's traumatic memories of that period. The performance, a passive counteraction to the hostile environment, expresses fear and non-cooperation toward the state apparatus.

Fiction

“The cramping starts midway through the first course. One of the dinner guests spills his tomato soup and it blooms into a garden of poppies on the tablecloth. An unfurling deep in her pelvis, an aggressive expansion punctuated by crushing contractions.”

“I watch my burning body from a ruin.

There's a heat to a woman's form, a fervour only matched by the spectacle of volcanoes and shooting stars. My story is about reconstructing a new myth of a NEW GODDESS, and I present the narrative of this myth as a moving image, like a river of time threading through needles, stitching around like the Ouroboros connecting my back, the story becoming an articulated circle from the beginning to end, returning to an ordinary room, a gentle home.”

“Sometimes the sun will drip its bright liquid

down. Like runway lights, the half-drunk beers, clear

plastic cups lining the exit path. Having

caught the sun slipping, their bellies gleam gold as

compasses—flashes in time.”

Photography

“Broken shells spill secrets

on spots reserved for laughing yacht yahs

and their macchiatos

metal detector treasure and morning

alarms beeping

You are heard

and I’ve no idea what to do by noon

I’d hate it if you were like them too.”
