Director’s Statement
Born from a deeply felt need to understand what it truly means to “arrive,” this series explores not just the act of reaching a new place, but the delicate process of finding belonging, identity, and hope in a land far from home. Rooted in my own experience of war, migration, and becoming a refugee at 33, Taste of Arrival reflects a deeply personal journey.
Gallery
This gallery presents moments from my graduation project at film school, Taste of Arrival.
Through the lives of three Syrians living in different cantons of Switzerland, these images explore questions of identity, dignity, and belonging, capturing the personal journeys and quiet resilience at the heart of rebuilding far from home.
