«My fascination lies in the concept of a theatrical stage, drawing inspiration from Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot." In this framework, characters find themselves ensnared within confined spaces, grappling with their inherent limitations and the futile struggle against the passage of time. In the dimly-lit suburban setting, figures navigate like sleepwalkers, delving into the intricate interplay of fantasy and reality. Any location morphs into a prison when one is lost."
