Main Themes

Imagine a grid where each square represents a different artistic discipline. Design acts as a dynamic ball, bouncing from square to square, absorbing and synthesizing knowledge and experiences as it moves.

It explores the journey from a mundane object to one that captivates as an object of desire.
