Work In Progress



Zephyr Chants (in collaboration with Carmen Terol)
interactive sound installation (2024-2025)

Zephyr Chants is an immersive installation composed of a sound sculpture and a video projection. Set in a future city, it explores the tension between urban development and natural environments, issues of climate change and how humans can work together with nature for a better future. 


The sculpture will work as a wind organ and will be made with found materials. The sound will be created by wind coming from fans or air pumps, connected to sensors.

Dear April

short film (2021-ongoing)

Dear April is an experimental short film set in a dystopian Rotterdam, in a future world that is recovering after a mysterious disaster. It follows a fictional narrative inspired by the reconstruction politics of Rotterdam after the bombing of the Second World War, reimagined in today’s context of constant urban renewal, displacement of socio-economic groups and the development of surveillance technology.

All the feels

short film (2020-ongoing)


All the Feels is a short film which explores how reaction GIFs facilitate performing emotion in online conversations: essentially how we express emotion online by using other people's faces and how this influences our identity.

The plot revolves around an actress who is preparing for an important role. We follow this through various text conversations on her phone. In order to grow emotionally and be able to perform, she has to leave a version of her old self behind and go through a hero’s journey in a fantastical, animated world.
