Artist statement

Summer arrived with a revelation: a love, long known, now seen in its truest form. Hidden in plain sight for months, the warmth of that realization was fleeting. Autumn followed with a quiet heartbreak, like the fading light of day. Time passed, carrying with it the shift of seasons and places. From Hungary to Germany, France and Sweden, I spent those dark hours finding solace in the quiet stillness of a world that turned without me. I captured these fleeting tender moments in film.
