Images
The edge of a building occupies the left two-thirds of the image. There is a visible window with light coming through but the shades are blocking any view into the window. The right two-thirds of the image features a skyline at night. The image has a blue tint over it due to the time of day.
Description

Almargen' is a meditation on three major transitions in my life; moving to a new country in search of better opportunities, changing career paths from acting to filmmaking, and experiencing a breakup in a long-term relationship. I filmed this piece in Santiago, Chile in 2016, while also filming a short narrative piece ‘Beneath the Light’, in an effort to gain perspective of the current immigration wave in Santiago. During the editing process I decided to make my personal experience the voice of the film in the form of written interventions or subtitles that accompany images taken by me as a distant observant of a city I no longer inhabit.
