This is a research-driven creative exploration of how female cinema challenges traditional modes of seeing and feeling. Grounded in an academic dissertation, the project critically examines how the film Portrait of a lady on fire reconstruct the gaze, female sexuality, and narrative beyond the dominant male-centric paradigms. The podcast component expands this inquiry through sound: investigating how intimacy can be evoked through subtlety by diving into the silence, breath, and raw textures of minimalistic sound design.
Building on these foundations, my experimental short film Fallacy offers a visual and auditory practice. It portrays a new way of experiencing closeness, desire, and artistic creation — not as objects to be consumed, but as subjects to be encountered. Through deliberate shifts in focus, tactile imagery, and fragmented soundscapes, the work invites the viewer to inhabit a different mode of perception: one that is intimate, sensory-driven, and quietly subversive.
Every shift in focus becomes a small detonation in the established order of seeing — and from these fractures, new ways of knowing and feeling emerge.
