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 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.
