Taupe Magazine, 2023

Role: Concept, Visual Design

Contribution to the second edition of Taupe Magazine, an independent platform for design research. The edition's theme, "As Above, So Below," drew on ideas around natural networks, digital ecosystems, healing and interconnection.

My response focused on aquariums: environments where living things are arranged purely for how they look together, regardless of whether they'd naturally coexist. Starting from photographs taken in zoo aquariums, the images were cut apart by colour and reassembled as 3D collages, layering the fragments into new compositions. The method echoes the subject: arranging elements based on visual logic rather than natural belonging.

Made with Houdini and Redshift.
