Table 4
— Documentary fragment
0′45″


Theme :

Social safety, belonging, imperfect authenticity, fragmented storytelling


Project Note :

Extracted from a longer vlog run, this piece reframes raw footage into a compact hybrid form, part lived documentation, part constructed cinematic short.

Rather than building a linear narrative, the film assembles autonomous micro-moments. Each shot functions as a self-contained scene, brief, alive, unpolished. Together, they construct an atmosphere rather than a story.

The visual rawness is deliberate : fisheye distortion, digital noise, low-light grain, blurred laughter, pauses where “nothing happens.” Imperfection becomes material. The external chaos contrasts with an internal release, a state of social ease, where presence replaces performance.

Lingering Echo — Short video
0′22″


Theme :

Tension and release


Project Note :


Each burst is a new atmosphere, a new dominant hue, pushing chaos into rhythm.
Fast cuts, sharp colour shifts, and the repetition of a simple motif.

August 2024 — Short video  
0′32″


Theme :

Visual exploration of insomnia, solitude, and altered perception


Project Note :


Built as a sequence of mental impressions, it seeks to reflect the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep, often shaped by insomnia.
Cross-references include Christopher Nolan’s Insomnia for its perceptual drift, and Funki Porcini’s “Attendre Choses” for its experimental approach to narrative.

Rhythm, image textures, and visual loops create a sense of temporal dissonance and internal recurrence.

Transe 2 Motion / 2D Animation shorts

Theme :

Inner self, identity, transcendence, disconnection, liberation vs conditioning, excès, repetition

Project Note :


A visual descent into excess.

Transe is a series of projects that explores the corrosion of the self, mental, physical, spiritual, through the lens of indulgence. The act of consuming becomes both liberation and decay.
It questions the nature of extremes : are they gateways to understanding, or just brief escapes disguised as revelation ?

The frame sequence mirrors that tension, from control to collapse, from pleasure to distortion. The fall isn’t glorified, but observed, as if asking : where does expansion end, and self-erasure begin ?
