    Art Direction, AI












      A set of stills turned into a short teaser for an imaginary opera captured for cinema. An odyssey of yearning. Our protagonist, Apple, desires to shed their immortal coils and the weight of meaning that defines their being. No longer imbued with these associations (sin, knowledge, immortality, fall of man), they desire to fulfill their function and sole purpose as a fruit: to be consumed.

      Art Mill Museum
      Brand Identity, Editorial

      The Art Mill Museum, opening in 2030, will be Qatar's future hub for modern and contemporary art. Developed by Qatar Museums in Doha, it will transform an industrial flour mill site on the Corniche. By crafting a public-facing name and provisional identity, we enable the Art Mill Museum's development to evolve organically over the coming years.

      Brand Identity

      Shinsegae Namsan is a new luxury destination at the base of Namsan Mountain in Seoul. The site features high-end dining, a concert hall, and education center. The design system includes a dynamic pattern generator that creates abstract landscapes, inspired by layered brushstrokes forming peaks—an homage to Seoul’s surrounding mountains.
