Artist Statement

My artistic practice is deeply rooted in storytelling, as I aim to use my films to raise awareness of societal issues and inspire independent thinking among audiences.The film’s inception arose from my urge to amplify the voices of women enduring domestic violence. Additionally, it serves as a platform for those subjected to emotional manipulation and control. My aim is to empower them to break free from toxic relationships and assert their rights and dignity.I believe in the transformative power of art to transcend linguistic and cultural barriers, stirring hearts and instigating societal change.
