Some projects begin with an answer. The ones that interest me most begin with a question.
I investigate people, territories, memory, body and imagination.01 / Cinematography

Vrindavan
Wide Soul Wild Body brings together audiovisual encounters with artists and people who explore the body as a territory of creation. Each film emerges from presence in front of the camera and reveals gestures, rhythms and singular ways of inhabiting the world.

Field Notes
Notes from a practice in constant investigation.

Observe before intervening.
Meu trabalho nasce da escuta, da presença e da atenção ao que ainda não encontrou forma. Entre documentários, fotografia e projetos autorais, cada processo começa pelo encontro: compreender o contexto, criar confiança e descobrir qual linguagem pertence àquela história.
A câmera não entra apenas para registrar. Ela participa de um processo de aproximação, traduzindo atmosferas, gestos e silêncios sem apagar a singularidade de quem está diante dela.
Listening
Pesquisa, vínculo e compreensão do contexto antes da construção da imagem.
Presence
Uma direção sensível ao corpo, ao espaço e ao ritmo próprio de cada encontro.
Form
Escolhas capazes de materializar o invisível sem sobrecarregar a narrativa.
