Mono x Reh, Editorial –– A study exploring the encounter of both materials: steel (Mono) and ceramics (Reh).

Digital Detox, Short –– A young influencer embarks on a digital detox weekend at a secluded retreat designed for those seeking refuge from their online lives. Though the space exudes tranquility and tactile presence, she remains detached, unable to break free from the rhythms of her digital existence. As she mechanically performs her daily routines, the retreat itself becomes an extension of the very system it aims to counteract. The beauty that lingers outside, in the grander scheme, goes unnoticed, and the established rhythm is disrupted only for a fleeting moment. Through a documentary-style lens, the film explores the tension between the analog and digital worlds, questioning our ability to disconnect. Without offering judgment or answers, it presents a thought-provoking reflection on modern digital dependency.
