Documentary and film are art forms that allow me to create a story through fascinating, realistic or non reaslistic visual images that surround me. The images, interactions, pattern or colors that strike me can be the start of a project . For me, the most beautiful thing about documentary is capturing images of critical, interesting, and fascinating moments in our daily lives and letting more people enjoy and see them, not just me. It creates a sense of recognizability and togetherness as humans with the rest of nature.

Perken - graduating filmI am in the process of researching, scenario writing and shooting my HKU graduating film. The film is about the human that surrounds itself with artificial nature. And the world of insects, organisms and lichen trying to connect with our world. Lichen shows us a way of living together in a symbiotic way. Can we see this? or do we only see ourselves?
