“I imagine that my skin is translucent, that it does not constitute the border where “I am” begins and ends. I hate compromises, I am an “all or nothing” kind of person. I can’t help but act impulsively and savor life in it's most ripest moment: NOW. I am passionate about art as a means of making sense to this extraordinarily inconceivable world we live in”.

This short film is about transformation.
 About the image. It's materiality, it's liveness.
 From flesh to paper.
From 3D to 2D.
 Interchanging perspectives. 
‘Captured’ from the camera.
 A sort of prisoner.
 This is about being aware of this ‘confinement’.
 Being present.
 Concealing and revealing bodies, shapes, relationships.
‍
Not trapped. 
Just critically gazing.
