Design Research
This exploration evolves into a rich image archive, where concepts such as the Doppelgänger, Janus, the alter ego, metamorphosis,... are intuitively analyzed and reinterpreted. Gradually, a graphic universe unfolds, dissecting the theme of duality in a new and personal way. Experiments with various materials and textures aim to make these insights and thoughts tangible, in the hope of discovering a deeper truth and inspiring the viewer along the way.
