I am particularly interested in cross-border and transnational projects that connect different geographies, languages and historical trajectories. My work often emerges from collaborative investigations involving journalists, researchers, filmmakers and cultural institutions.
I focus on narrative forms that bridge personal stories and broader political, social and historical contexts, particularly in relation to migration, exile, memory and urban transformation.
I work with archival material, testimonies and field research to construct layered narratives that combine documentary rigor with a sensitivity to lived experience. Rather than treating history as static, I am interested in how it is continuously reinterpreted through present-day social and political dynamics.
