As I was creating this I had a synopsis in mind, as if putting together broken scenes from a film. If I were to write it down it would sound something like this:

An old lady who’s an accomplished traveler returns to a country she went to in her earlier years. Not long after she settles into her hotel, she starts reminiscing about her experiences and conversations she had with her then partner. How they talked about life, philosophies and creating moments. As she travels across this magical place she tries to put these words she remembered into practice. Not that she has a lack of presence and appreciation, but as she visits places that have seen the effects of change she envisions a realm, place or dimension that is untouched. A place she holds for people she lost contact with. Suspended in time, emotion and imagination. Unbound to the harsh realities of the world and life’s unpredictable paths. A land where lies the unexpressed. Being back there physically helped strengthen her connection to this ether.

Proud to have directed and written the @cncptsdxb x @adidas campaign together with Marv.

The idea behind the story wasn’t just about the product and the roller skate community — it was about capturing the speed of the city we live in, how easy it is to get lost in its rhythm and the importance of finding your own acts of active meditation within the chaos.

Huge thanks to the team for their trust — excited for this one!

Exactly one week ago THE FRANKLY SPEAKING hosted first SCENTS & SOUNDS event in Dubai and we are still at a loss for words (the good kind).

We set out to create something different — a space where music and niche perfumery could speak to each other, where people could hear a scent and smell a sound, and leave seeing both a little differently.

The warmth in that room was something else entirely. Thank you for showing up, for staying curious, and for making the atmosphere as electric as it was intimate.

And later reading all these trends of scents and sounds, soundtracks for perfumes, along with the shifting market from celebrity endorsements to community events — we might be onto something!

A special thank you to our incredible partners who brought this to life:

@nightjar.coffee for the beautiful space and the sips that set the mood

@roseleaf.cafe for the custom-made cakes that were almost too pretty to eat

@marvinthemiddle for capturing every moment the way it deserved to be seen, and @mark_issa for lighting all up

Some of my favorite screenshots and BTS from our recent project for @cncptsdxb x @adidas 🎥

Still feels surreal that we got to bring this project to life with such an incredible crew. Maybe I did something right in a past life to call this ‘work’ — because, really, it’s just a bunch of passionate kids chasing creativity, making an impact and having the time of our lives.
Endless love to everyone who made this happen!
