Approach and Research
My work sits at the intersection of documentary filmmaking, feminist theory, and cultural research. I explore how bodies, care, birth, and transformation are represented across visual culture – from documentary film to Instagram and YouTube – and how these representations shape the stories we tell, the possibilities we imagine, and the experiences that remain unseen.
Bringing together academic research and creative practice, I am interested in how images both reproduce power structures and create openings for new ways of seeing. Documentary film, in particular, can challenge dominant narratives while making space for complexity, multiple perspectives, and community.
As part of my PhD at the University of Bristol, I explored how documentary practices of opacity, fragmentation, and lyrical, experimental aesthetics can open up new ways of representing women's and queer subjectivities.
This research continues to shape my work as a doula. I see filmmaking not simply as a way of documenting birth, but as a practice of witnessing, listening, and remembering together: one that invites us to move beyond normative ideas of birth, parenthood, and the body
