lowlands
This collage is my visual love letter to Lowlands — a festival that bursts with color, chaos, and creativity. I was fascinated by the people who fill the space: their wild fashion, fearless energy, and the way they seem to come alive under the lights and music.
Through bold colors, layered textures, and clashing shapes, I tried to capture that electric feeling — the blur of movement, sound, and emotion that defines a festival crowd. The bright, almost overwhelming palette is meant to echo the altered perceptions and vivid sensations that festivals can trigger, whether through music, emotion, or the psychedelic haze that often hangs in the air.
This piece isn’t just about how Lowlands looks — it’s about how it feels. It’s about freedom, expression, and that fleeting moment when everything around you vibrates with life.
In creating this work, I combined cut-out imagery, paint, and digital layering to build a collage that feels spontaneous and raw. I wanted the process itself to reflect the messy, unpredictable spirit of the festival — imperfect, experimental, and full of energy.
white privilege
This collage is a deeply personal reflection on white privilege — a subject that many recognize, yet often choose to avoid. For me, design is not only about aesthetics, but about communication, awareness, and empathy. I wanted to create a piece that doesn’t whisper, but confronts.
At the center of the collage is a white woman with tape over her mouth — a striking, uncomfortable image that represents silence. It symbolizes the idea that, in conversations about racism, it’s not the time for white voices to dominate, but to listen. To make space for those whose stories have too often been ignored or dismissed.
Visually, I combined harsh contrasts, fragmented textures, and muted tones to emphasize tension and discomfort. The composition feels restrained yet loud — a visual metaphor for the imbalance of privilege and the power of staying quiet to truly hear others.
Through this work, I wanted to challenge myself and my audience to face what’s uneasy. To see design not just as beauty, but as a tool for truth and change.
