Witness to a Devouring Monster

An anthology film by Lei Nico
Produced by Roxanne Lim

In Witness to a Devouring Monster, three women speak: Ana, Xenia, and Magan. Graceful, strong, intelligent, these women reveal their life’s wisdom through colorful, visceral story-telling. The worlds in which they live shift from realistic to surreal, fantastic to secular. From modern society to a not-so distant dystopia.

Kintsugi Concept Shoot

I designed, styled, and shot this concept about finding beauty in the broken, and wholeness in the fracturing.

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, “golden joinery”), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, “golden repair”), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold.
