​

This short documentary tells the story of an artist who works with psychiatric patients, helping them express themselves through art. The participants—often described as “primitive artists”—have never received formal artistic training. Free from the conventions and rules typically taught in art education, they create striking and deeply personal works guided purely by intuition and emotion.

​

The film explores how art can become a powerful tool for self-expression, communication, and healing, revealing the extraordinary creativity that emerges when individuals are encouraged to create without limitations.

As Director and Producer, I was responsible for developing the story, directing the film, and overseeing the production process, shaping the narrative to highlight both the artistic process and the human stories behind it.
