Online Residency 2023
Artist Statement
I am a filmmaker, a writer, and a visual artist who was born and raised in Bulgaria.
To me, inspiration is a natural state of exploring life, regardless of whether one is creating or simply observing. I am playful, authentic, and loving in my process of creation. Narration is a key aspect of my work, and I like to see myself as someone who creates new worlds through stories. My strongest drives are the love, understanding, and curiosity I have for people and nature. As a documentary filmmaker, I tend to listen carefully to what a person or a tree has to say; I see metaphors there where most people would see a simple expression, and I tend to find the right tool to tell a story—sometimes through words, other times through images, and often through silence. It is this balance of voices, sounds, images, movement, and stillness that defines my film editing as moving, honest, and daring.
