In collaboration with my colleague and good friend, Auriane Locatelli, I had the pleasure of working on a motion design project centered around the iconic Tinguely Museum in Basel, Switzerland. Our goal was to pay homage to the architectural brilliance of the museum and the mesmerizing artworks of Jean Tinguely.
Drawing inspiration from sketches by the architect Mario Botta and the building's purpose, we embarked on creating a short animation that would encapsulate the essence of the museum. The video predominantly features white line work components of the building, meticulously animated to move in a repetitive fashion against a striking black background. To further enhance the immersive experience, we recorded the sound directly from within the museum itself.

Inspired by the enchanting Arabian myth of alchemy and the recipe for creating a human, "Myth of a Memory" is a project that delves into the realm of cherished recollections and empathy. At its core is a hand-crafted black clay ceramic memory box, housing 14 small compartments, each safeguarding an object linked to my memory. Viewers can lift the lid of any compartment, revealing an intimate object imbued with personal meaning. Accompanying each object is a carefully composed recipe, meticulously detailing the step-by-step process of recreating my memory. Through this unique blend of artistry and storytelling, "Myth of a Memory" invites participants to delve into the alchemy of remembrance and intimate connection to another person.

Inspired by lighthearted video games, 'dopamine-core' and childhood memories, this project invites players to explore a virtual world based on FHNW HGK 6th floor. This playful environment is filled with amusing animal characters, hidden rooms and vibrant, but still recognisable scenes.

In this collaborative project, my close friend and colleague Judy Kessba and I delved into the world of VR/AR photography, driven by the pressing issue of global warming and rising sea levels.
Our exploration began with the meticulous 3D scanning of a tree branch, capturing its intricate details and unique characteristics. From these scans, we crafted a diverse range of digital models, each one offering a glimpse into the branch's beauty. Using Adobe Aero, a powerful AR authoring tool, we blended these digital models with previously captured photographs of the same tree branch. To enhance the viewer's experience, we incorporated subtle movements and animations into the objects. As viewers explored this fictional environment, they were transported to a world reminiscent of an abandoned Earth or an unknown planet. The landscapes, featuring melting icecaps and diverse terrains, evoked a sense of wonder, curiosity and fusion of the real and the virtual.

In this ongoing textile-based project, I explore identity and the weight of it, we carry in the symbolic form of clothing labels. Inspired by the thought-provoking artist Alina Kopytsa and our discussions on Ukrainian resistance art movements, this particular piece serves as a poignant reflection of my and my ancestors journey.
Every label in this artwork has been carefully removed and graciously donated by people in my community, symbolizing the intimate connection between personal identity, our surroundings and the garments we wear.
This piece is accompanied by a personal artist statement, providing further insight into the conceptual framework and underlying emotions that drive this project forward.

As a ceramics, crafter and 3D printing enthusiast, I embark on a transformative journey of artistic exploration. By merging traditional craftsmanship with the technology of 3D printing, I seek the boundaries of what is possible in ceramic creation.
