Through my writing, I aim to focus on details. With cinematic-like scenes, I explore the finer and broader details of ordinary life. I always search for the most important details in the scene to focus on, and I try to explore them through the use of the senses; what words will make the reader hear the cars driving by on the highway, smell the food on the table, feel the tree’s bark under their palm, the wind in their hair? 

 

But while it is the ordinary that interests me, I also find the concept of time, in its many forms, rather intriguing. Whether you feel the seconds passing by slowly or quickly, my characters are always affected by the passage of time. While my pieces are not always historical, I generally like to play with historical references, whether they are small details in the background or the whole setting. Through the combination of time and history, creatively fertile topics become available, such as social issues, politics, and death, for example. 

​

In my final project, I want to explore different characters and their identities through objects, and how outsiders perceive certain hints of individuality, like the little details of a book, a preference in music, or the significance of a necklace. Through these fictional pieces, I also intend to use time as a character: how time affects us through loss of connections, how the time of day makes us feel, how settings change in time and how timeless certain things can feel, etc.
