My practice is rooted in exploring how data, often perceived as cold, rational, and distant, can be reimagined as something deeply human and sensitive. I see data as more than numbers; it carries the stories of our societies, both collective and individual. However, the way data is usually presented tends to reduce its complexity, creating a distance from its human origin. Through my work, I bring data into material and tangible forms, reframing it as a space of empathy, reflection, and accessibility, while still preserving the weight of its reality.

I position myself as a bridge between design and art. Design gives me the tools to structure and clarify, while art allows me to bring sensitivity and emotion to the forefront. This intersection enables me to question how we perceive and interpret sensitive data, particularly around topics often silenced or considered taboo, and to create new ways of engaging with them.

The spectator plays a central role in my work. My goal is to plant a seed that encourages reflection and empathy. Rather than overwhelming with despair, I aim to create spaces where people can confront uncomfortable realities while still finding openness for dialogue and connection.

Manual and analog processes are essential to my practice. Whether through stamping, bookbinding, or other tactile methods, I value the human presence embedded in the work. These processes demand patience and intimacy, contrasting the speed and detachment of digital systems, and reinforcing my commitment to keeping the human visible within the data.
