I am fascinated by the interplay of text, form, and material by how meaning emerges when language becomes visible and design becomes readable. During my Graphic Design studies at the Bern University of the Arts, the dialogue between writing and making is explored: playful, experimental, in motion. “A line is a dot that went for a walk,” Paul Klee once said. This image captures what design can do: make movement visible, translate thought into form. The work unfolds as an ongoing exploration of transitions between word and image, concept and material, structure and meaning.
