preserve.wardrobe

⮎ Preserve.Wardrobe is a fashion search engine, community message board, and personal digital closet. The web application focuses on collecting and preserving your items. Rather than consumerism, each item is found or bought with intent. This is truly for the people who love fashion — simply doing it for the love of the game.

recording of feelings

⮎ Tape Recorder of Feelings saves what each user inputs into a database, so that the next person who types the same feeling sees what the person before them wrote and why they felt it. It's a subtle reminder that you are not alone. Everyone is carrying invisible weight. In real time, users input a feeling, which gets sent to an Arduino that prints a physical receipt --the feeling and the reasons behind it, rendered tangible.

overconsumed

⮎ This project replicates the visual feeling of anxiety. I hooked up a live heart sensor through an Arduino, positioned directly over the heart, so that each beat triggers a particle that pulses outward on screen. Every particle represents a new beat and they keep accumulating, piling up, refusing to disappear. The buildup is the point--it mirrors the overwhelming, all-consuming nature of anxiety itself.This is a live visualization of what anxiety does to me. And it can reach a breaking point

Installation Laser-Cutter

Real American

⮎ This piece is dedicated to immigrants—too often rendered invisible in the American narrative. The green card, while symbolizing legal residency, still carries the label "resident alien," a term that strips individuals of humanity and reinforces the idea they will never be seen as truly American.
