My Coin

My Coin is a short three-dimensional animated film about the meaning of value. The story follows a boy who drops a coin into a sewer. A wealthy man sees the boy and offers a gold bar instead of the lost coin. For the boy, the gold is only a tool to recover the coin, while the man sees gold as the greater prize. The film shows that each person holds a different standard of value. My Coin was created with computer animation software, which allowed the characters and their actions to be exaggerated for dramatic effect.

Venous Materials

Venous Materials is an interactive fluidic interface that responds to touch and movement. The design is inspired by vein systems found in plants, leaves and the human body. Pressure or deformation applied by the user drives liquid through internal channels, producing changing patterns and colors. Each sample works at the same time as a sensor and as a display of tangible information. The prototypes are made of PDMS silicone and ecoline ink, using laser engraving and manual laboratory processes. Most measure 5 by 5 centimeters, and some reach 15 by 15 centimeters.

Floating Life

Floating Life is a series of illustrated posters about human emotions and personalities.

The illustrations shape each character so that thoughts appear on the surface of the figure and not only in the mind. Each poster is joined by a written explanation of the emotion shown. The aim is to help viewers notice the details of the work and recognize emotions that occur in everyday life.

Dimension in the Shadows

Dimension in the Shadows is a desk calendar made from black paperboard cut by laser. The set contains twelve monthly cards, each with a different design. Every card is mounted in a slit of a small wooden cube. Dates for Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays are cut through, while weekdays are half cut. Each abstract figure recalls a scene of the changing seasons in Japan. Seen against the light, the sharp outline reads as a paper sculpture. The cast shadow changes shape as the light moves, adding quiet interest to daily life.
