Director Statement
I am fascinated by the sustained exploration and innovation in design that can be achieved by combining animation with mathematical progressions and sound. Experimenting with common elements across these fields such as geometry, symmetry, repeating patterns and looping cycles has become an integral part of my work. Through this project, I intend to develop integrated system designs that can be reused, scaled and repeated in different contexts, thus contributing to the development of novel and interesting ways of communication.
