Afia, 2019
Coming up in a society that is greatly invested in religion and Christianity, I constantly had to debate the place it had in my story as an artist and a creator. Taking inspiration from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, I created this paper cutout stop motion short that highlights the story of The Woman. I used a combination of more traditional mediums like acrylic and ink wash and integrated it into a digital platform to make a stop motion video.
Playing With Fire, 2020
This experimental video intersects the identities and cultures from Indonesia and Ethiopia. I used Gamelan music as the background sound and dressed the subject in Ethiopian attire that is commonly worn to celebration. It signifies the intersectionality of spirituality, culture, and tradition.
Present Time, 2020
Inspired by a woman whose son suffers from mental illness, I sought to create a story that visualizes what she feels and struggles with internally while she fights for her son's health and well being. It visualizes struggle, tenderness, and the love of a mother.
