Mirjam is an artist and designer. Since graduating from the HKU in 20217 as an animation director, she has been collaborating regularly with the peforming arts which brought her work to theatres , festivals and music stages.
In 2022 she co-directed the animated short documentary Diaphony, about the power of music to unite people throughout the covid pandemic. This project reignited her love for short film and motivated her to develop her solo direction debut A Film About Hands: an animated tribute to craftmanship.
Poetry, both visual and linguistical, plays an import role in her work, which she uses to answer questions about what it means to be human by exploring both our relationship to nature and to eachother.
