My work explores the intersection of perception, technology, and materiality through wearable pieces made with optical and thermochromic materials.

By combining light-reflecting lenses and temperature-sensitive surfaces, the designs reveal shifting layers of visibility and transformation.

The pieces question how human and AI observation can be visualized, transforming jewelry into a medium that reflects asymmetry, transparency, and change in perception.

Separated lens components with engraved and textured surfaces, emphasizing modularity and layered optical effects.

Close-up of thermochromic film pieces held by hand, highlighting the shift of colors with heat contact.

Hand-held acrylic structure inspired by pixelation, reflecting the fragmented and digitalized way AI perceives humans.

Wearable optical structure combining layered lenses, designed to create distorted visual effects and explore altered perception.
