Reflection
Surrounding myself in the creative process has been a profound source of inspiration for me. Through art, I find a medium to express my deepest emotions, allowing me to communicate in ways that words often fail. Curiosity fuels my desire to venture into uncharted territories, particularly in filmmaking. Each project becomes an opportunity to explore new techniques and ideas, pushing the boundaries of my creativity. Lately, I've been captivated by a greater purpose. Witnessing the devastating impact of waste on our planet, I feel compelled to act. My country's alarming contribution to global waste motivates me to advocate for change. I aspire to create movies that awaken viewers to their individual responsibility in keeping our Earth and oceans clean. Working on this project, we also met a biologist and artist who has dedicated her art to speaking up and spreading awareness of garbage. We invited her to be included in our movie to send a message to our viewers that everyone has their own way to make a change to save our environment. I believe that by cultivating good habits ourselves, we can become climate heroes, safeguarding future generations from the perils of a deteriorating world.
