Moving image; composed soundscape
A wistful film. Melody whispers and creaks from the air breathing within the antique pipework. A rippling movement. Stillness of space. Drift in and out of dreaming and introspection.

Selected work on the theme of inner landscapes. Landscapes of mind and body, where the intangible is transformed into visceral, poetic narratives; diverse in form and content, both reflective and responsive, allowing humour and the absurd to interact with melancholy and disquiet; to shimmer briefly in your imagination.
2025 screened as part of Dialogues by Sophie Standford (UK)
