Island Garden, 2025
Single Screen Film, 5 mins 45 secs


Shot on Super 8 film, Island Garden evokes a timeless, otherworldly landscape—a surreal garden adrift on a sandbank island formed from ocean detritus and sea plastic. Charged with eerie beauty, the film reimagines the garden assemblages and structures as mysterious relics, suspended between past and future.
Intermittent shortwave signals cut through the film like phantom transmissions, as time folds, accelerates, and dissolves into its own unravelling entropy.
