The Lost Gloves Archive (TLGA)

TLGA is an archive of fragments left behind. A lost glove is a silent gesture, a life in transit — I document these through photography and spatial coordinates, mapping the nostalgia of objects lost on the way.

HaHaA open call

An open prize for emerging artists exploring inhabiting as a bodily, social and relational experience. Grounded in Combine Art, HaHaA welcomes any discipline — visual arts, design, performance, new media, fashion, food — as long as they speak to one another.

Strangers' films
PROJECT #04

Strangers' films

An archive of films born from chance encounters — where the stranger is both subject and author. Rooted in the Wander&Wonder framework, Strangers' Films investigates the brief, unrepeatable moment of meeting someone you will never see again. Each fragment is a research unit; each gaze exchanged, a story the city never recorded.

PROJECT #05

Memory & Sound - Japan

An archive of Japanese soundscapes born from urban wandering — where listening becomes research. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology and urbanism, Memory & Sound — Japan maps what the eye overlooks: the acoustic texture of streets, transitions and chance encounters. Every recorded sound is a data point; every detour, a finding.
