Filmmaker Statement

Flowers is a deeply personal film born from my own experience with sexual assault. In the aftermath, I found that survival is not just about enduring—it’s about the quiet, invisible battles we fight every day. This film explores the intimate, unspoken moments of healing, the weight of silence, and the resilience it takes to reclaim oneself. I wanted to capture the spaces between pain and growth, where survivors navigate shame, loneliness, and the search for solace. Flowers is a reflection of that journey—of holding onto hope, even in the smallest of ways.
