I start with a feeling, then build the visual language around it so every frame has intention, not just aesthetics.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create cinematic imagery that lives between fashion, film, and emotion. Work that feels like a still from a story you have not fully heard yet. I am drawn to moments that hold tension, beauty, and mystery at the same time. My goal is to make people feel something before they understand it.
Where do you find inspiration?In people, in contradictions, in quiet moments most overlooked. I find inspiration in light hitting a face at the right second, in music that shifts your mood instantly, in the way memory distorts reality. Inspiration comes from life as it is, then pushing it slightly further into something more poetic and intentional.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it directly into creating a short cinematic piece that pushes my vision forward, combining fashion, storytelling, and raw emotion. I would build a small but elite team, that help elevate the production, and create something that feels undeniable. Not just a short film, but a statement piece that has meaning and would hopefully lead to my first feature film directorial debut. 🎥 ❤️
