A love letter to the Swiss Alps.
Changing of Seasons is a short film about the impertinence of life and the beauty of change. In one long "impossible" day, the valley moves through summer, autumn, winter and spring, progressing through the cycles of life and also mirroring the spiritual journeys of people: the optimism of youth, the dark winter of doubt, and the return to wisdom, hope, and authenticity. Every frame is inspired by the real landscapes of Lenk and Switzerland — cows grazing on green hillsides, moonlit snowfields, frozen lakes, and the first spring dandelions pushing through the snow. Set to the legendary Masayoshi Takanaka's Prologue, this is both the artist's spiritual rebirth and a love letter to the place where it happened: Lenk.

She rebuilds the sky that took her father's voice.
In a future powered by orbital energy and AI, a catastrophic debris cascade traps Earth beneath a cloud of wreckage, cutting humanity off from space. As the planet adapts and struggles to rebuild, a young woman grows up separated from her father on Mars — working to restore access to orbit so they can finally reunite. Decades pass as efforts from both Earth and Mars slowly reduce the orbital debris cloud to a point where ships can once again get through safely. A short film about trauma, the long silence after loss, and the sky we rebuild one piece at a time.
