My name is Salomé Sowa (they/them). I’m a writer, director, designer and multimedia artist from North Carolina and based in NYC.

My films explore themes of identity, grief, and embodiment—often through the lens of dream logic, Jungian psychology, and the grotesque beauty of transformation. I confront the dissonance between the body and the soul, dissecting how gender is used as a vehicle for domination, violence, or erasure. My affinity for body horror is not incidental; it is political, spiritual, and personal.

My most recent short, Blue, Like Green, is an elegy for healing. Written in part to process the death of my father, it questions how we move from repression toward wholeness, and what it means to live beyond purgatory. The film situates grief as a liminal state—an invitation to return to ourselves.

I’m deeply community-driven, passionate about building collaborative, LGBTQIA+-centered creative spaces.

There are still so few nonbinary directors working at the industry level. I aim to change that—not just for myself, but for the generations who come after. My hope is to carve space for stories that refuse binaries, that hold both joy and devastation, that let people breathe a little knowing they are not alone.
