The Growing Decay
This project visualizes 32 years of global ocean heat data (1992–2023) as a typographic landscape where each year is constructed using its own digits. As temperature increases, the once-solid numbers gradually dissolve and spread, mimicking a fungal-like growth pattern. The hotter the year, the more intense and widespread the typographic diffusion becomes—revealing a visual imprint of our warming planet.
[p5.js sketch
A generative typography video built in p5.js that visualizes global ocean heat data as an evolving, organic system. Starting from minimal cues, typographic forms gradually dissolve and spread, reflecting the increasing intensity of climate change over time.
[p5.js sketch
This installation translates ocean heat data into a projection mapped landscape where thermal intensity appears as a living spread across a sculpted surface. Seeded points gradually expand, merge, and intensify over time, while each year and heat value update alongside the growth. The result frames climate change not as a distant statistic, but as a visible process of accumulation, escalation, and spatial takeover.

Structure
I approach design as a constructed framework rather than surface decoration. Each project begins with research and mapping, identifying relationships before defining form. Structure becomes the foundation that allows complexity to function with clarity.
Systems are not imposed visually but developed logically. Through modular thinking and controlled variation, I build identities and experiences that can expand without losing coherence.
Atmosphere
While structure guides my process, emotion shapes the final experience. I am interested in how subtle shifts in scale, spacing, and movement can influence perception. Quiet details often carry the strongest impact.
By balancing logic and feeling, I aim to create work that feels deliberate yet open, precise yet human.
