The Accumulation of Meaning Over Time, 16mm film, 2025

The Accumulation of Meaning Over Time is a lyrical exploration of how understanding of self deepens with age, and how collective meaning gathers across generations, bodies, and images. It is an ode to the treasure hunt of growing older—to the gradual realization that what moved us as children was not fleeting naïveté, but the first glimmer of lifelong motifs that orient how we move through the world. Drawing from personal narration, Jungian theory, and the history of experimental media art in Buffalo, NY, the film weaves these threads into a meditation on memory, inheritance, and becoming.
