Shadow Mishi was on display in public spaces of the Netherlands in 2023 thanks to Demo festival. Mishi is a reflection about difference. Difference applied to the medium (carving, substracting), difference in regards the mechanism of perception such as light (darkness and shadow). It directed the work towards shadow puppets, the ones from Java, Indonesia in particular that resonate deeply with the colonial past of the Netherlands.

This illustrative 3D work is an exploration of a french contemporary mythical story of the “cavalier du 93”. Man on a horse is an attempt to depict and magnify these kinds of “hood stories” through classical painting portraiture with the help of modern technology.

Image direction, production and 3D Design for the artist Sara Sadik.

Give me your hand is a visual exploration about the relationship with my sister with a disability. It studies the emotions through her stereotypical hand gesture and bodily movement. How can we expand wordless communication by using digital tools?

An anticipation of evolutionary mutations based on environmental changes. Drinking water is the world's most vital wealth. While hydration is threatening to cause the migration of entire populations, technology is on the brink of providing long term solutions to our biological limitations. A human body produces on average 2000 ml of urine waste a day, 90% of which is recyclable water. Imagine a world where water scarcity had caused our bodies to adapt. Artificial new body parts would enable our system to need half the amount of water and therefore considerably reduce our dependance to hydration. Can we design a more autonomous and sustainable body? Leaving aside the scientific challenges, Hone in a Bag enquires on the sociological impact of such a change. The project contemplates how structural and biological enhancement could reinvent identity, sense of self, beauty standards and social interactions.
