Short moments of flashing images
I’m interested in how sound and image can carry emotion without relying on words. My film Pairilis Anama is an abstract short made in Unreal Engine that explores cycles of collapse and renewal. It moves through digital landscapes where life and decay exist side by side. The story reflects how small acts of neglect in our lives can grow into something much heavier, but it also shows how it’s still possible to take back control. I was inspired by Gaelic proverbs that speak to resilience and patience, and that influence runs through the whole piece.
Sound is where the heart of my work lies. I record using ultrasonic microphones, hydrophones and EMF devices to capture layers of sound that often go unheard. These recordings give me the space to build powerful and sometimes destructive soundscapes that still feel grounded in the real world. That balance matters to me. I want the sound to be intense and unfamiliar, but also believable and textured.
I tend not to guide the audience too directly. There is a loose narrative, but I want the viewer to experience it for themselves. My aim is to create work that stays with people, not by telling them what to feel, but by giving them a space where sound and image leave a mark in their own way.
