In a time of ecological collapse and social fragmentation, I craft emotion-led films, performances and immersive experiences that awaken goosebump moments, restoring connection and a shared sense of belonging to one another and to the living world.

“No one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.” — Sir David Attenborough
