A PORTRAIT OF WORDS LEFT UNSPOKEN (2025)
An experiment in surrealism in the back garden of the house I used to live in with my friends in Herne Hill, London.
Directed, filmed & edited by Samuel Sierra
Riyad’s Dream (2023)
In the last few years I have delved deep into Jungian psychology and the exploration of the unconscious through dreams.
My friend Riyad and I conceptualised a short dream sequence where he grapples with internal conflict involving his father. The main idea was to use a surreal situation and abstract symbolism to evoke emotions that cannot be expressed through words.
Directed & filmed by Samuel Sierra

Pixilation Experiment (2022)
A very brief experiment I tried a couple of years ago. I played around with time-lapse in an unorthodox way where I used a slow shutter and, every so often, turned the zoom ring while taking some of the photos, which created this interesting zoom effect at the beginning of the video.
Inspired by filmmaker Pascal Baes’ pixilation style and Takashi Ito’s avant-garde masterpiece ‘Grim’.
