Her practice is rooted in an exploration of displacement, desire and loss. Working across moving image, sound and photography, she traces the emotional and psychological tensions that emerge in transitory forms of existence – whether cultural, social, or metaphysical – and how these conditions can be expressed through a merging of the real and the imagined.Her interests lie in weaving narratives that explore how suspension and estrangement disrupt perception and relation. Shaped as much by absence as by presence, her work draws on myth, haunting, and the uncanny as a way of giving form to the unresolved. By blurring the boundaries between fiction and documentary, her practice engages with both personal and collective histories, emphasising the liminal spaces where identity is continually fractured, undone, and remade.

An Arabic and Persian word meaning “separation” or “barrier,” ‘barzakh’ refers to a liminal state between life and death — a veil between the dead and their return to the world of the living. Shot across 16mm film, digital camcorder and iPhone footage, the film shifts between analogue and digital imagery, exploring the haunted contours of longing and dislocation. Spaces flicker, thresholds multiply, and bodies move like apparitions through a city that never fully reveals itself: what emerges is neither dream nor document, but a realm where perception falters.
