In the vast expanse of human experience, memories stand as ethereal markers — shaping our perception, our identity, our connection to the world. Yet these fragments of our existence elude our grasp, fleeting and ephemeral.

My work is a quest to bridge that intangible realm with the tangible: to transform the abstract tapestry of memory into something that can be seen, touched and felt.

The fusion of art, technology and emotion sits at the heart of it. Using computational design, I transmute sound data — echoes of laughter, the rhythm of a heartbeat, the notes of a cherished song — into visual pattern. Those patterns, as particular as the memories they come from, are sculpted into three-dimensional models through generative design. The result is a tangible artifact: a physical embodiment of a memory, made real through fabrication.

My doctoral research, Sound Data as Design Material, deepened this exploration and expanded what is possible at the intersection of sound, data and design. Each piece is not merely an art object; it is a vessel of emotion, a tangible emblem of an individual history, a bridge between the past and the present.

As I see it, the future of memory is a blend of art, design and technology — a world where every spoken word, every shared story, every precious memory can be immortalized, viewed and held. Where the ephemeral becomes enduring, and the intangible, tangible.

My work is an invitation: to experience memory in another dimension, to touch the past, and to enter a deeper dialogue with your own experience.
