Concept

Myself explores the act of choosing yourself again and again, especially in moments of uncertainty. It centers on self reclamation and the quiet strength it takes to return to yourself.

Approach

The film is an internal journey rather than a linear narrative. Each woman represents a different internal state, capturing moments of stillness, reflection, and becoming.

Execution

Shot on 16mm to bring texture and honesty to the visuals. The camera remains soft and observant, allowing moments to unfold naturally. Warm tones, natural light, and negative space create a sense of intimacy and quiet strength.The result is a world that feels grounded yet slightly surreal, where vulnerability and strength exist at the same time.
