Do You Hear Me; is an immersive sound installation inspired by an on-site design research experience in the Austrian alps, as well as an experimental extension of the thesis “The Ontic Tonic” on embedded design through situated empirical research. Drawing from the phenomenon of sonic isolation during an avalanche accident the project provokes the boundaries of our often distant relationship to climate. For more insight please watch the video. 2022.

Zand en Veen; Zand en Veen aimed to oppose increasingly predictable and monotonous layers of digital research input for design projects by applying methods of psychogeography in order to reactivate a more embodied and empirical approach. The project reflects on the city map of The Hague as a culturally encoded mental construct. The experiment included 110km of walking and documenting the urban city in interviews, notes, and photographs. After breaking up the usual urban divisions of neighborhoods, these observations were re-arrangement in an autoethnographic map of poetic cartography creating new narrative “patterns” of The Hague. 2022.

Manticore; Silk scarf design displaying a manipulated image of a lion. The border of the scarf shows a historic image collection. Lions have beguiled humans for centuries. Yet once again, they are a species we’re allowing to disappear on our watch. The project is a critical comment on the anthropocentric dilemma with wildlife and the controversiality of superficial admiration of a subject as long as it remains distant though essentially failing at acknowledging the value of its reality. 90x90cm. 2020.
