A ghost with amnesia, post-apocalyptic bottle collectors, a deconstructed cat, picking at scabs, searching for intimacy, colored pencil abstraction, a need for space, a pop cover of a folk song creates ripples, babies are overwhelming, the definition of plot, and a poem about loneliness during a pandemic. ---

A ghost loses their memory after being struck by lightning. They meet Arthur, who tries to help them.

CAT XXVI

Gazing at wall cancer and the scar, the woman recalls some ups and downs of love. The film depicts femininity and female internal time-consciousness through the convalescence of woman' s broken heart, which is based on my personal experiences. Long Synopsis Gazing at wall cancer and the scar, the woman recalls some ups and downs of love. "Girl in the Water" is a hand-drawn animation, which is feminine and at a slow narrative rhythm, painted in watercolor and pastel frame by frame. The warm characteristic of hand drawing contrasts quite markedly with the distress that the main character suffers. The film talks about the convalescence of broken hearts. By the process of fixing wall, viewers are able to experience the journey of convalescence.

Girl in the Water

All Those Sensations in My Belly

I work with the interaction of space and being in it and the energies associated with them. The state of rest, then tipping over from it, and then returning to it again, forms a framed structure, it is about presenting this kind of duality, and the balance between them. The work based on artistic starting points, which is why I chose traditional hand-drawn animation. The film is based both musically and visually on the discovery of experience through experimentation. The film does not contain a specific plot, but returns to fixed motifs which can cross their boundaries again and then return there again. This duality based on repetition creates a constant timelessness, the repetitive processes illustrate the constantly building - passing changes.

Charlotte

This film is an honest and very personal insight into the world of an overwhelmed mother, who seriously thought that parental leave would become a sort of sabbatical.

POSTPARTUM

A limited enumeration on the definitions of Plot. While innocently exploring its own definitions, tragedy strikes and Plot will never be the same.
