"Unity of Being" explores the intersection of ontology and graphic design through the lens of typeface creation. Inspired by the philosophical concepts of Ibn Arabi, particularly the idea of oneness, this project aims to capture the complexities inherent in the immanent world. Drawing from Islamic mosaic techniques, the typeface employs a grid system and geometrical symmetry to symbolize unity. The design process involves incrementally increasing complexity, with each letter constructed using an expanding grid system. At its core, "Unity of Being" prompts a fundamental question: can the divine be discovered within language?

Engaging with themes of perception and architectural modularity. This concept of modularity bridges architecture and graphic design, leading to the creation of an uppercase display typeface. This typeface, inspired by architectural blueprints, serves as a modular toolkit for users, allowing for customization and adaptation, reflecting the foundational role of blueprints in architectural design. This approach not only questions the sustainability and practicality of demolishing buildings versus adaptive reuse but also envisions a future of sustainable construction practices.

"Death Comes" is a compilation zine by photographer Adam Russell, encompassing his photographic journey spanning two years. Through his works, Russell delves into the dark, ambient, and decaying elements he encounters in his surroundings. His imagery is characterized by harsh contrasts, with soul-crushing blacks and deafening whites prevalent in his black-and-white compositions. Russell's aim is to immerse himself deeply in the atmosphere of his environment, capturing everything from the smallest holes and cracks in walls to his adventures in Thailand with his friends..

I was approached to design several elements for an upcoming pop-up event titled "FORBIDDEN FRUIT." For this project, I've decided to create a compilation zine featuring low-brow designs, esoteric concepts, and quirky elements. Additionally, I will be meshing these designs with two screen-printed posters titled "BLAM BLAM" and "YOUR MADER PUNDEK," as well as a screen-printed shirt that references George Bataille's philosophical works.

An experimental series of works, as I was learning belnder. The first three works were a series inspired by albums from yung lean and I wanted to test my abilites in what I was already learning.
The last slides are inspired by the anime “Neon Gensis Evangalion“ which spurred me onto making a short video with the software.
