PROJECT 01 - The Polylogue Cabinet
It is a modular, sculptural artifact composed of 6 to 8 interlocking 3D-printed blocks. Each block is ambiguous in form, yet tactile and evocative, and can function as a stool, table module, storage cell, or ritual platform, depending on the narrative projected onto it. The piece is designed to explore how semantic framing, sensory mismatch, and ambiguity impact perception and memory of everyday objects. The user is both participant and narrator.

PROJECT 02 - Anticipatory Experience Portrait (AEP)
A Neuroscience-Informed Methodology as an Instrument of Constructed Significance
Some significant relationships between people and objects, shaped by ritual, accumulated histories of discomfort, or the presence of someone no longer there, remain invisible to conventional design methods. The Anticipatory Experience Portrait (AEP), a methodology that uses predictive processing theory and AI-assisted analysis to generate a new category of design brief grounded in the relational and temporal dimensions of how significance becomes attached to objects.
