I approach visual language as a system of relationships, rules, and conventions. Through acts of isolation, omission, repetition, and the alteration of signs, I explore how a minimal intervention can transform the way an entire system is read.
Rather than inventing a new visual language, my work reconsiders languages that are already embedded in everyday life. By making subtle interventions in familiar systems, I aim to reveal the assumptions, rules, and mechanisms of meaning that shape the ways we perceive, interpret, and navigate the world.
This work is based on folding a printed replica of the elongated road sign no. 908, which signals a narrow passage or obstacle due to roadworks. Through folds designated by fixed numerical multiples and shifting positions, the familiar repetitive pattern of orange and black diamonds is disrupted, generating new forms. The erasure of the orange elements and their transformation into gaps, dismantle the balanced formal system and articulates alternative spatial configurations.
This work is based on disassembling the “No Entry” road sign into its basic components. The placement of the elements is detached from their functional context of signaling and warning, emphasizing formal relations of color, shape, and scale. Through minimal displacement of the familiar order, the configuration loses its symbolic authority and becomes an abstract object, devoid of instruction, yet charged with the memory of enforcement.
This work is based on dismantling a road sign depicting a white arrow on a blue square. Based on a grid that is derived from the relationship between the arrow and its׳ setting. According to this grid, cutting and folding operations are performed, disrupting the arrow’s identification as a sign and producing abstract geometric configurations. In the second stage, the folds are translated into opaque pictorial surfaces, emphasizing relations of form, direction, and area.
This work is based on a formal deconstruction of road sign no. 908, which refers to an obstacle or a narrow passage. The diagonal, as a central graphic form, disrupts linear movement and articulates a point of friction between motion and stoppage. From this visual language charged cartographic references emerge, and reassemble as an open system of divisions that do not converge into a stable boundary.
This work offers a critical reading of temporary guidance mechanisms (temporary road signs), revealing how an alert meant to indicate detouring solidifies into a system of movement devoid of any exit possibility and of logic. A primarily temporary solution becomes into a persistent infrastructural condition.

From a distance, the work appears as a continuous horizontal line. Only at the corner does the line leave the plane through a sequence of three-dimensional facets projecting from the wall, oscillating between two and three dimensions, between line and object.
