'Alphabet' is a film composed of 26 durable images and scenarios, each corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. Still life, portraiture, the body in motion. The film will draw energy from the way these shots jostle and spark against each other in sequence.

“Alphabet conveys my respect for the world of objects, people and abstraction. I want to construct a language of vivid symbols and characters. It functions as a self-portrait and capsule of this moment in time”
