Interview: Breaking Boundaries
In September 2024, I was invited by Elham to collaborate as a videographer and photographer for a powerful art exhibition featuring 10 artists from across the Middle East. My role was to capture the heart of the event through both video and photography, producing a 23-minute documentary film and over 50 high-quality photographs that documented the artists and their works.
While working closely with Elham, I realized that an interview would be the most meaningful way to present the vision behind the exhibition. I shared this idea with her, and she immediately embraced it. Together, we created this interview, which became more than just a video; it turned into a space where the story of the exhibition, the artists, and Elham’s vision could be told authentically.
For me, this project was about more than recording an event. It was about finding the story within the art, shaping it visually, and giving it a voice that could resonate beyond the gallery walls.
The Climate Crisis
I have always believed that storytelling is not only about capturing moments but also about raising awareness of issues that shape our future. The climate crisis is one of the most urgent challenges we face today. Some parts of this problem are beyond our control, but many actions are still in our hands, and it is our responsibility to act, especially for the sake of the next generation.
Living in Canada, I see how much attention is given to climate change. But in the country where I come from, awareness is limited, and the government pays little attention to this critical issue. That difference inspired me to create something meaningful.
I started with a poster, then developed a 2D visual piece, and finally produced this video. I combined photography, videography, and green screen elements to build a narrative that is both visual and emotional. This project reflects not only my technical skills but also my commitment to using art and storytelling to spark awareness and inspire change.
The Ordinary Life
This short film follows a woman who, like many of us, began a new chapter in Canada. She shares her life with her daughter and mother, yet my lens focuses on the quiet bond between her and her daughter.
I wanted to capture not dramatic events, but the rhythm of an ordinary day, the kind of moments we often overlook.
In the final part of the film, the subway makes an appearance. For me, it symbolizes life itself: a journey that began in the past, continues in the present, and moves toward the future. We are all passengers on this metro. Ordinary life is made of such repetitions, days that mirror each other, yet connect us all in their simplicity.
