Azina is an artist-filmmaker who explores psychological and philosophical questions through writing and visual media. She has created several short films and also engages in photography, art, playwriting, poetry, and prose.
Currently enrolled in English Literature at Nanyang Technological University, and having graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Film Sound and Video diploma, she hopes to explore her practice in creative writing and art-making across mediums. She has made films such as “Chrysalis”, “In Somnia”, and "We Learn To Breathe In Distant Places", of which the former was screened as part of the European Film Festival Singapore, and attained official selection in the Rhode Island International Film Festival 2022.
Azina’s work often delves into the instability of reality, consciousness and meaning, being human, and ontological crises, while she experiments across artistic mediums, particularly gravitating toward experimental and surrealist forms. Some of her favourite filmmakers/writers include Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Andrei Tarkovsky, Charlie Kaufman and Samuel Beckett.
