On The Road
While watching a film, you’ve surely thought—if only I were there. Whether it’s the breathtaking landscapes or the long, winding paths walked by the characters, something pulls you in. John Berger once asked, “Did you come by photograph or by train? Every photograph is a means of transportation.” Let these documentaries be letters from afar— delicate invitations to places you’ve never imagined, and journeys you’ve never taken.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
