My practice explores nostalgia, sentimentality, attachment, and reminiscence, focusing on my personal connection to Star Wars and to music through piano composition. Throughout this year, my work has evolved from stop-motion experiments into multi-screen installations that combine sound, digital animation, and moving image. I am interested in how rhythm and repetition in both sound and imagery can evoke memory and how familiar moments can shift in meaning over time.

Each composition and visual sequence builds on this relationship between sound and emotion, with my piano scores often shaping the structure of my installations. The layout of screens, mirrors and musical rhythm, creates a visual flow that resembles the rise and fall of a melody. By bringing together fragments from childhood and traces of the everyday, my work transforms deeply personal memories into reflective and shared experiences.

Ultimately, my practice is about how we hold onto what once mattered, how those attachments evolve, and how the act of remembering itself becomes a creative process.
