As a non-binary artist, they challenge prescribed norms and systems that attempt to control and define individual and collective bodies. Their work often blends documentary elements with fiction, and explores gender, power structures, culture and tradition. Through resisting and reframing oppressive narratives deeply rooted in patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism, their films offer a more layered and fluid understanding of our interconnectedness.
