At the crossroads of diverse fields of interest - from biology and phisycs to algorithmic sciences, including philosophy, - my design practice seeks to explore and strengthen the relationships between object, subject, and their environments. As a computational designer, I develop works ranging from small-scale devices to micro-architectures. These creations emerge from the fertile interplay between digital tools and natural phenomena, embedded within broader ecosystemic logics. I thus imagine multi-voiced choreographies, where the living and the non-living engage in dialogue, where unique materials and emerging processes enter into symbiosis. The result is a design of fluctuation, of things in motion: a sensitive and forward-looking vision, resonating with a world in constant transition.
