With over seven years of experience, I work at the intersection of branding, publishing, exhibition design, and digital media. My practice explores how emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence, reshape intimacy, presence, and perception. Through multimedia formats and speculative design, I examine themes of emotional datafication, time, isolation, and constant surveillance. Interdisciplinary methods and psychoanalytic thought are central to my practice, serving as tools for reflecting on what it means to be seen, heard, or replaced by technology.
I draw inspiration from cinema, photography, modern art, philosophy, and other disciplines. For me, design is about balancing aesthetics with meaning, creating work that not only evokes emotion but also addresses real needs.
After conducting my investigation, I discovered numerous intriguing similarities between these two seemingly different worlds. For instance, road signs serve as guides in the city, much like a needle’s path on a record. The noise of a passing subway and the applause that follows a song blend into each other seamlessly. The rhythm of a ping-pong game aligns with the melody.
My personal project opens and closes with the phrase 'Le chant,' meaning "singing" in French. The final shot reveals a weathered signboard from an old shop once called 'Plumbers Merchants,' where only the letters 'Le chant' remain. It reflects how, in a city of constant change, some things, though covered in the dust of modernisation, hold the greatest beauty.
