Her films sit between documentary, performance and fiction. Dancing with My Mother explores the relationship between parents and their adult children, using movement to create space for an exchange that moves between intimacy and the everyday. It screened with Minute Shorts in Accra, Berlin and London. The Genesis Project, made with artist Emma Fineman, premiered on NOWNESS and screened at London Short Film Festival 2026.
