Decoding Emotions

Personal Project

Various locations,

From 2019, ongoing

The project deals with visualizing emotions through patterns.

We all agree that each of us perceives, describes, feels emotions in different ways; nonetheless there are underlying patterns that we all unconsciously share (collective memory) that constitute a common ground for the mutual empathetic understanding of emotions.

Patterns are designed by exploiting algorithmic design and then colored by hand.
