I am co-founder of Anthroposea with Arzucan Askin. Together we directed and produced the 12 minute film Tides of Connection for the 3rd UN Ocean Conference, Nice, 2025.

Humanity’s relationship with the ocean is not one-dimensional. It’s scientific and spiritual, historical and visionary. Anthroposea explores in these liminal spaces - where disciplines meet and timeframes overlap—to tell fuller stories and build deeper commitments to the sea. We work at the confluence of people and sea, science and art, past and future, believing that meaningful change emerges when these worlds are not separated, but brought into dialogue.

Oceans are not a passive backdrop to human history, but as a force that shapes cultures, livelihoods, and ways of life, while also being profoundly shaped by human actions. Tides of Connection  traces whales, sharks and cod as architects of both marine and human societies; revealing our entwined fate.
