Fallen in love with this foreign world through film, music and literature, I moved to Japan in 2019. Coming out of an academic field that gave me little satisfaction, I dived into a world that would change me and, in a way, free me. Captured through the eye of my film camera, my journey to Japan has been marked by two aspects primarily: the process of a country dealing with a pandemic and a feeling of personal, creative freedom that I have not felt before.
