Stress, worry and guilt, crawl up to our heads and root into our subconscious, so that we do not deviate in any way. Entrapped in such a manner in this setting of autosuggestion, worn out by the inner conflict with our own selves, we are adrift and carried away by the powerful current of the continuous flow of time, which fleets away unvalued.&nbsp; It is a matter of decision to alter our perspective, and escape from our own self-prison.

In productions, my work focuses on character puppet animation, with a strength in internal, nuanced performances. I also enjoy working with clay and raw materials that require hands-on process and allow textures to breathe on screen. &nbsp; As an animator I have production experience in series, short films and commercials locally and internationally, and I am open to relocating for upcoming on-site projects.
