Archaeology and soil improvement at ZHdK

This project, in cooperation with the Cantonal Archaeology of Zurich, aimed to highlight the destruction of archaeologically valuable soil during construction. I created a brochure illustrating the landscape's development over 5,000 years and emphasizing the importance of archaeological work. The brochure will be distributed to key stakeholders involved in soil improvement, including politicians.

2020
Retina at ZHdK

This project involved learning Cinema4D to visualize the microscopic structure of the human retina, specifically the Fovea. The Fovea, known for its sharp vision and densely packed cones, inspired me to focus on this area. I experimented with the organic shapes of the cones and their liquid surroundings

2020
Sketches and Drawings at ZHdK

One of the most important skills needed for creating good visualizations is understanding forms and objects. These sketches and drawings have been created with the goal of learning to observe and analyze, understand and finally sketch and draw with the knowledge gained.

2020
