The short film Portrait is a cinematic study of time, identity, and memory, drawing directorial inspiration from the aesthetic of Ingmar Bergman’s film Persona. The film begins with the image of a clock and a human figure in motion, while the camera gradually moves from a long shot to a close-up. The repetitive sound of the clock functions as a rhythmic and symbolic element of the continuous flow of time.

As the work unfolds, the narrative, through a sequence of images, movements, and repetitions, suggests an inner, almost subconscious journey. The portrait of a woman is transformed from a simple representation into a carrier of memory, tenderness, and continuity. Touch functions as a way of connecting with the past and as an act of recognition of human presence.

The portrait is not presented as an unchanging human form, but as a transformation that takes place through time, the senses, and observation. The work functions as a visual poem, where the relationship between image and sound creates an atmosphere of contemplation on human existence.
