Ö

2022, short film (18') 


The boat docks at the same hour every day. Presence and absence are both announced by the cormorants’ gossip echoing along the shorelines. Ö is a study of the insular, drifting through shifting seasons and stubborn rituals to trace the pull between solitude and contact.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
