Sleeping Child (created 2023), the featured installation by @alyvialuong, ruminates in diasporic phantasmagoria, oscillates in liminal space between memory and present, and absolutely floors me as a fellow artist, thankful for every day of our wonderful creative partnership.

Overshadowed by the glamor and all-too-common sterilization in gallery settings, installation projects often remain separated from the conditions that create them, so when approached to document the installation process of attaching the project to a tree by the lake during a brisk November sunset, I was, understatedly, brimming with excitement to shoot every moment.

With this video, I hope to evoke the same excitement in others who can now witness this moment of beauty.

Such an unorthodox vision and new direction for myself would have been inconceivable without an equally imaginative and heartfelt cast & crew :) I’m so proud of us. I’ll cherish this experience forever.

Bootstraps, a film I directed last year, is now public and accessible by my link in bio!

This film began as an idea to establish critique against U.S. imperialism and colonialism in the Middle East and evolved into narrow focus on Palestine as Israel intensified its violence (prior to Oct 7). The film wrapped shoot on July 30th, 2023, a final edit was made on on April 2nd, 2024, and as of today, Israel’s violence, with the help of the U.S., has evolved to full-scale genocide with a current estimated 40,000+ killed (calculated largely with bodies found above the rubble). As filmmakers, I believe it is our duty to use the camera to give light to the most pressing concerns of our times and to encapsulate an ethos — so that it may not be forgotten — and the voices of liberation struggles — so that they may never die. And as an Armenian and a Jew, I cannot stand idly by watching another genocide unfold. Here, I present to you what I would call a microcosm for the conditions created under Israel and the U.S. that give birth to an inexorable violence, and whether justified or not, one must consider the material conditions that arise to give momentum to these instances of bloodshed. From there, one can understand what are the steps to cease the violence. We need a ceasefire! We need an end to the occupation now! FREE PALESTINE!
