Shéhrazade, a sex worker, is reclaiming her body and mind from trauma. The lens traverses both outside and within her body to map her experience of love and intimacy – on the job or at home – and capture her healing. The fluidity of the form allows her to animate an inner world that the camera cannot capture.
