Short Film

This student short film is a personal, 30-second expression of my relationship with body image and dysmorphia. Rather than telling a story, I aimed to create an explorative visual piece that prioritizes emotion. By employing distorted angles, implied imagery, and a sensibility inspired by traditional art forms, I hope to communicate feelings that are often difficult to articulate with words alone.
