Blooming Fire, Burning Flowers, Bright as Sun (2022)

Blooming Fire, Burning Flowers, Bright as Sun is a short film about the birth of the universe. It was made by creating photograms of flowers on 16mm motion picture film, producing images that are reminiscent of galaxies, nebulas, supernovas. The film seeks to reflect the idea that the earth and all its matter, from plants, to animals to people, are made up of the same materials that gave birth to the universe. That the very fabric of our being is connected to the Earth and everything in it. And feeling small is not always a bad thing, when you remember that you are a part of something bigger, communities, ecosystems, the universe itself.
