A belated post but may I (with a cheeky smile) present to you my graduation project: ꪻꫝꫀ ꪀꪮꪀ-ꪜ꠸ꪮꪶꫀꪀꪻ ρꫝꪖ᥅ꪑꪖᥴꪗ A few months in the making, lots of sweat and tears but ultimately a labor of love, made all the more worthwhile by the countless cups of tea shared with strangers or friends. Truly one of the most rewarding experiences. The Non/violent Pharmacy aimed to recreate a Third space, that being a space that in sociology is considered as a place other than home or work, a place where people can come together, connect and entertain conversations. I wanted to re-invent a space for healing that re/integrates food, in this case herbs as a form of medicine and a self-healing tool. One that is mindful and active in restoring colonial cosmolgy. Based on my own experiences in the medical space, I had found the process extremely dehumanising. However ‘Deep medicine’ starts with the act of repairing relationships that have been damaged through systems of domination. Decolonizing medicine begins with the project of rehumanization and reconnection, making space for empathy and community. The Visitor here was invited into a warm space, where they were welcome to discover 6 different medicinal herbs which could be steeped into a tea blend. Each herb representing a different layer of the healing process, unique to each individual, may that be physical or emotional. Sharing a moment together, visitors could have a cup of tea based on their needs, aswell as on the times i was present we’d make a brew together, holding space for connection and collective healing. ✉️📩💌 While this project aimed to nurture connections, whether with oneself or with others, I never really anticipated how beautifully it would come together in practice. While some of us shared experiences and beliefs, some joined the space to simply listen in or sometimes just to share a medicinal cup of tea. While the grad show is over and the Non-Violent Pharmacy has gone (quite literally) into storage, she is however still looking to host new spaces, new strangers and new connections. Anyone have any leads, let me know ❤️‍🩹 photos by @hilalmutluel

Finally graduated from @royalacademyofart.thehague from the Graphic Design Department with my project ‘The Non-violent Pharmacy’, - long time in the making but slowly and surely it took shape and developed into the most wonderful and fulfilling project i could’ve graduated with ❤️‍🩹

More angles of ‘The Non-Violent Pharmacy’ 🎀 + A note on the materialization of the work: The curtains surrounding the space were naturally dyed with tea leaves and contain small passages from the book called Inflamed, which upon reading kickstarted this whole project. The table was designed with the idea in mind to gather a group of people around, see the medicine in its rawest form, that being the real plant, to smell it, touch it; aswell as for the dried tea leaves and present their medicinal properties in a clear and accessible way. This project was also the result of multiple collaborations, working with a herbalist/naturopath (thank you @achula__ for your guidance) to make sure all the herbs work together and working with a ceramicist on a custom design for the tea cups, thank you Cynthia). Thank you @rupa.marya and @rajpateluk for your words, for they have resonated with me deeply.

Installation for Design Inquiry Group following the idea of 'Doing Nothing'. Using a technique called Photogrammetry, I was able to copy three-dimensional environments and elements by photographing them from every possible angle. The computer then interprets the photos and converts the two-dimensional documentation into a three-dimensional construction. Quite astonishingly, the computer manages to stitch together the massive amount of images into a visual reconstruction. The object goes from a live experience to a 2D collection of images to a 3D visualisation on the computer screen, where it it remains a 2D perception on the flat screen of the monitor, until it is actually 3D printed. In a certain sense, therefore, creates a virtual world that is suspended between 2D and 3D. However at that point the objects loses its photo-realistic skin. On one hand, this demonstrates the construction of images in between the physical and virtual worlds; on the other, the installation offers a conceptual rendering of the lifecycle of everyday life in the face of nothingness. Under guidance of @hstrgrl and @bnjmnearl

Looking back and it’s a lovely feeling seeing all the movies and posters we’ve done for @kabkfilmhouse 👀

Redesign of Stuart Halls Representation from a while back

Tomorrow, @lifebyabel @hilalmutluel @bellainan and me are initiating Kabk Film 🏡! Every Wednesday we’ll be screening a different movie in the cinema room. Feel free to join whenever a movie inspires you, but sign up first, QR code on the posters or link in bio! 💕 This week on the menu, Roma. [ Roma is a 2018 black-and-white drama film written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who also produced, shot, and co-edited it. Set in 1970 and 1971, Roma follows the life of a live-in housekeeper of a middle-class family, as a semi-autobiographical take on Cuarón's upbringing in the Colonia Roma neighborhood of Mexico City. The film stars Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira. ]

Table placemats and table cloth I designed and made last semester for those summer dinner nights 🍸 Placemats can be on their own or combined with the table cloth for more color-blocking 🍇🍋

Expo shots of a collective @kabkdesign exhibition at @hethemnl back in June, where I got to show my project [ ‘In nature light creates the color, in the picture color creates the light’. ] Initially part of the Image Color Quote assignment and then merged with IMD, this project went all kinds of directions, in order to become an interdisciplinary piece which eventually has become left open for interpretation. Technology graveyard or rebirth? Digital colors or colors in nature? Screen-light or sunlight?are just some of the keywords. At the core however, the intersection of Virtual and Tactile. Pics by me (except first one by @peter_tijhuis )

An explorative personal archive (ᵛᵉʳʸ ʰᵘᵍᵍᵃᵇˡᵉ) on the relation between textile and graphic design and how certain artists and designers inspire me to potentially combine the two worlds. I had been collecting and saving references for months and I didn’t want them to live on as links in my notes, so I thought of giving them a better space through the form of a book, which I’d be able to go back to whenever needed. While exploring theoretically, I wanted to do the same tactically and given I’m obsessed with rugs, a tufted (or in this case rughooked) cover seemed natural. The book doesn’t need a title, as from the moment you touch it, you play to guess what the inside will be about.

Designed and coded a website last semester 🛠 Clean navigation, built in AR experience, big furniture archive and a little game ⚙️
