Mother's Apricot Compote
​
2020, Digital Video, 23 minutes and 35 seconds
​
A fragmentary narrative of two women whose lives are distant from each other yet hold traces of one another. This film conjures the ghosts that hover over the day-to-day lives of these two women; it is a rumination on the experience of the immigrant within and without the diaspora and the ways in which personal/familial memory seeps through the surface of every day life.
​
Sound in collaboration with Jamie Turner and SubPhonics.
The Windows Talk On A Long Afternoon
Digital Video, 15 minutes
A coffee table hosts a conversation between two friends as the open window lets in the street below.
Waiting for someone that never arrives, a woman walks through the streets taking on the city's rhythm.
A daydreaming body seems dead until it moves.
