BRIEFING / 01

Developed as a final Professional Aptitude Project, Odyssey Ship reinterprets Ulysses’ departure vessel in the year 3050, a future dominated by robots, long after humans have disappeared.

BRIEFING / 02

The vessel was conceived not only as a visual object, but as something that could be assembled plausibly. Its scale suggests orbital construction, a modular logic comparable in principle to the way the International Space Station was assembled in orbit.

PRODUCT FILM · 3D

Kuru Toga

The study asks a simple question. What happens when the language of a perfume commercial is applied to an ordinary mechanical pencil?

Research, modelling, lighting, animation and editing were used to elevate an everyday object through rhythm, restraint and detail.

PHOTOGRAPHY / OBJECT / LIGHT

Automotive photography is approached here as an exercise in observation.

Proportion, surface, material and light become a way of reading the object beyond its function.

The intention is not simply to document a car, but to understand how engineering, atmosphere and visual culture can coexist within a single image.

Selected commissions are developed privately, in dialogue with the object, its context and the image it requires.

COLLECTION / PERSONAL IMAGE NOTES

Collection

A reduced selection of images that are especially important to me, taken on iPhone and vintage cameras. They reflect spaces where I found inspiration, references in colour, and details that later reappeared in other works.
