Stories born in fire.
Alexandra Roca is a storyteller working across film and visual art. An award-winning documentary director and producer, her films have been shown at more than 20 international festivals and featured by National Geographic, Amazon Prime, and the United Nations.
Her artistic practice expands this storytelling through fire. Using gunpowder and smoke, she creates ephemeral forms shaped by chance and transformation, capturing moments that exist briefly before becoming permanent works. Whether on screen or canvas, her work invites reflection, presence, and connection.
Diaries of Smoke is a space that offers a glimpse into the quiet sparks and raw moments that shape what I create. It’s where I share what I burn to say, fragments of feeling, memory, and meaning: reflections from the core, lessons the flame teaches me, and traces of the textures that make up my world. It’s the place where inspiration burns quietly before it explodes into form.
