Tracing Soul
“Tracing Soul” is a poetic bodyscape where the sacred, sensual, primordial and profane female form imagines and evokes the possibilities of the soul through the coalescing of the fragments, intimate gestures, oblique angles, disintegrating lines and shadows, music and text enveloping the bodily compositions.

Petals
In 1999 the newspapers in Kerala South India broke a shocking tale of two young lesbian girls who ended their lives beneath a train. A note they carried stated that they were ending their lives because they had failed in their long struggle to live together in the harsh and hypocritical society of Kerela. It is an irony that Kerela is 100 per cent literate and one of the most literate places in the world. This film picks up on the agony of those innocent girls and many others who still struggle for their emotional rights.

Daily
5 am she rises. 7 am she is ready. This film observes one woman’s morning routine. We track this intimate ritual. She is mechanical and efficient. Her morning drill is done with precision, yet her look is vacant. Despite the clockwork, things are not as “together” as they seem. Disconnected editing and sound create an otherworldly space; her apartment is neverneverland. Time is manipulated and actions are exaggerated. Her person is fragmented. She could be a cartoon.
