Scotland

I made my first experimental short film, Scotland (2021). Through my photographs, the film explores Scotland’s founding myth from a personal perspective.

Synopsis

According to the legend, an Egyptian princess named Scota arrived by boat to the coasts of Scotland in the company of her husband, Goidel Glas, carrying with her the Stone of Scone that had belonged to the patriarch Jacob.
