The Peel

PORTUGAL, TAIWAN, BELGIUM, FINLAND 2025 7' M/12 2D digital

After a flat tire leaves her stranded in the woods, a woman revisits haunting memories of her self-destructive tendencies on the finger nails. As she peels the skin from her fingers, each strip draws her deeper into the past, urging her to step closer to the hidden child within herself.
