seventeen syllables poster

A poetic meditation in seventeen syllables. Between the stillness of nature and the murmur of the city, sound becomes ambiguous, and water reflects more than just light. A brief but layered encounter with landscapes—both external and internal—where perception flickers like a haiku.

Heal The Pain poster
NR

Years after leaving, my uncle returns to Granada. As we walk through the city of his youth, he shares the story of his first love — a story marked by late summer light, old plazas, and a George Michael song that once gave him the courage to speak his heart. Heal the Pain blends documentary and fiction to trace a quiet, intergenerational conversation about love, memory, and the emotional imprint of place. A tender portrait of how the past lingers — in music, in streets, and in the stories we pass on.
