Memory of a Light: A visual essay on nostalgia for the childhood house. Does the core of this experience lie in the structure and design of the house or in things that cannot be measured, yet make impressions on the senses?

Somewhere Nowhere: An essay film, using the observational form to explore the universe of a city. The City evolves episodically, seeking to open up the themes of nostalgia, memory and constant flux that bind these developing spaces together. An old man, also a photographer, tells a tale of the city in which he has spent his lifetime, opening up the idea of how a city keeps on reincarnating, to accommodate newer narrative”.
