Exit
The book introduces a newly invented language. It evokes a sense of visual vertigo, pushing the boundaries of perception as readers engage with its geometric hieroglyphs. It challenges viewers to explore how much meaning a simple line or dot can convey. Each reader is encouraged to interpret the symbols in their own way, creating a personal language with endless possibilities for discovery. Every time the book is opened, a new story is written. The portal divides the book in half, symbolising the threshold all creators must cross in their search for meaning.

Landscape
This work features four laser-cut wooden landscapes: mountain, desert, ocean, and countryside. Each landscape is viewed from the same perspective and at the same time of day, offering a unique glimpse into nature’s order and depth. The intricate four-layer pattern of each ecosystem reveals a delicate balance. The first layer depicts the flora, the second highlights geographic features and human efforts to shape the land, the third layer shows the fauna, and the fourth represents the heart — symbolising the core of the ecosystem. Each viewer is invited to explore their own values within the design of these landscapes. Is it the landscape we grew up in that shapes our lifestyle and values, or does our lifestyle shape the land we inhabit? Or is it the relationship between the two that defines us?

Day
This collection of letterpressed cards serves as a tactile weekly calendar. Custom-crafted relief printed letters illustrate each day, with the three repeating letters creating a full clockwise rotation across the eight designs. Each letter has a unique personality, yet together they form a harmonious composition. The embossed cards are not meant to be framed but used as an inspiring desk accessory.

Mental

Turbo
The work is a slice of the universe, a compressed cosmos distilled into a single, continuous flow of interconnected characters. Like a fragment of infinity captured in a test tube, this long, narrow design evokes the vastness of space and the energy of creation. Rendered in celestial hues it channels the aesthetics of the cosmos, from interstellar clouds of gas and dust to quantum entanglements. The entwined figures suggest a universe in flux — expanding, shifting, evolving.

Rainbow
Seven miniature sheets and perforated stamps weave the story of the rainbow. The stamps dissect the physical phenomenon, while the larger sheets reflect the personal memories, people, and objects the artist associates with each hue. The postal value of each stamp corresponds to the colour’s wavelength. The illustration style mimics the wave form. A rainbow is formed when all seven sheets are aligned.
