Mina – The Price of Freedom
Stories of identity, memory & belonging.
I document the people and places carrying histories that risk being forgotten — through documentary film and photography. Long-form projects about diaspora, memory and the traces left on place and family.
About
Filmmaker and photographer working between personal experience and collective memory. My work looks for the quiet moments where history becomes visible in everyday life.
