Product design: “Things Left Unsaid”, Special Recognition Award by HDD & Brokenship museum
“Things left unsaid” advocates for a healthy and constructive recovery from a breakup in a touching way. The recycled paper on which we write the unspoken words to ease our souls contains wildflower seeds.
By ritually burying the paper in the ground, which contrasts with the destructive stereotype of burning paper, our words will transform into flowers, thus contributing to alternative forms of building emotional resilience and enhancing our environment. (link)

The Longest Wait in the World
We humans are always waiting for something: a better opportunity, the right time, a particular beginning or end.
And the longest wait is for the one who will bring it all to an end, and transform the waiting into living.
While capturing the stories of others, the author reflects on her own moments of waiting, transforming them into life through her first film.
