Artist Statement:
"My work is mainly focused on being human, and the feelings and emotions that we struggle with from day to day. With my films I want to invoke a feeling of nostalgia or melancholy, by focusing on subjects that nearly every person is familiar with. Feelings of loneliness or “not belonging” are most present in my work. "
