Dreamtracks, 2:23

A train hums along the tracks, a mind drifts off.

This traditionally animated short film was completed in spring 2025 as a culmination of my master's thesis journey at Rhode Island School of Design. It’s both my love letter to train travel through Ukraine born of a deep longing for home and an attempt to capture the dreamlike state of being suspended between destinations.

Stuck, 1:36


An unexpected encounter awaits between the clotheslines.

This film was completed as a final project for a five-week experimental stop motion class I took at Rhode Island School of Design in January 2025. Storyboarding, puppet fabrication, set design, shooting, editing, and sound design all happened within one week.
