The Power of Perspective combines documentary filmmaking with ice skating performance, reflecting my belief in the healing power of movement and art to express complex emotions.

By integrating both visual storytelling and performance, The Power of Perspective challenges conventional forms of expression, creating a narrative that is not only informative but also visceral—allowing viewers to process the war’s impact through multiple sensory channels.

The project is a testament to the importance of perspective: how different individuals, from various walks of life, experience and interpret the same tragic event.

This work seeks to shed light on the universality of human suffering while offering a glimpse of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of art.
