Seedgraphy explores how the anthotype photographic technique, can visualize the threat to seeds, increasingly endangered by colonial agricultural practices and climate change. Set in Bolivia and part of DecoLawBiodiv research project, it advocates for Indigenous seed sovereignty and biodiversity, through a decolonial lens.
The prints arrangement, inspired to the Circle of Dialogue of Wisdom approach, depicts 8 environments, each symbolised by a native species, through 5 different years, visualising the degraded situation of the fields because of intensive agriculture, wood extraction and cattle ranching, causing the typical squares land shaping more and more violently present.
The ID of the plant that represents the area and the coordinates are displayed on the handmade table structure, together with a sample of the pigment used for the prints.
Like the forest, the prints are fragile and precarious, subject to disappearance, to show how design can visualise a real and irreversible threat.
Seedgraphy proposes art as a medium to highlight the need of a biodiverse future.
Plant ID
These cards are part of Seedgraphy physical installation and they are designed to be placed into a handmade display table and printed into thick recycled paper. The ID of the plant serves as an insight into the scientific classification of the species taken into exam.
How Censorship influences Information
Global Glitch Gazette is an interactive installation exploring internet censorship and shutdowns in 16 countries across four continents. Focusing on data from 2022 (sourced from Freedomhouse.org and the KIO Report), the project analyzes how national information systems shape the way news is disseminated or distorted online. Visitors interact with the piece by selecting a country and viewing a glitched video of a major event from the past decade , the intensity of the visual and audio glitches reflects the level of censorship (on a 0–100 scale). Additional “Access Denied” black screens simulate the frequency of internet shutdowns, raising awareness of the global disparity in access to free information.
A growing ecosystem through book sharing and plant sowing
Culturae Cultura is an interactive bio-art installation and prototype library that promotes the exchange of knowledge and seeds. Visitors are invited to leave a book, with seeds inside, as a symbolic and practical gesture of sharing ideas and encouraging plant growth. Equipped with Raspberry Pi sensors, the installation monitors rainwater levels, humidity, and pH to assess the health of the environment and signal irregularities linked to climate change. The project highlights the relationship between regular rainfall (as a sign of environmental balance) and the flourishing of both nature and culture. Developed during a workshop with TeleAgriculture – A Cloud/Crowd Data Network for Creative Cultivation, the installation aims to create a new ecosystem where cultural exchange and ecological awareness grow hand in hand.
EXPLORE THE SPACE
This project explores the concept of liminal space as a psychological and immersive environment, an unstructured, dreamlike dimension shaped by the presence and free will of the viewer. Just as the photographs exclude the human figure, the space they inhabit is also non-human in scale: solitary, suspended, and intangible. Designed as a virtual exhibition, it questions how individuals behave when unobserved, offering visitors an opportunity to interact freely, like a social experiment. Set in the Metaverse, the project uses virtual reality to extend the artistic experience into a navigable, body-responsive portfolio. Drawing from Neal Stephenson’s original concept of the Metaverse in Snow Crash (1992), it reflects on how digital spaces now enable new forms of communication and self-expression. The work asserts that interactive, immersive formats foster deeper, more personal engagement between users and art.
Libro Sinistro is a one-of-a-kind photographic book created between 2018 and 2019, built around the concept of feeling out of place, metaphorically linked to being left-handed. The book features an interactive, disorienting reading experience, especially for right-handed readers, through, not only the opposite direction of reading, but also through mirrored text, that can only be read using a mirror placed on the left-hand page.
The project weaves together visual, textual, and structural oppositions, drawing from idioms, clichés, invented narratives, poetry, and religious references, all exploring the notion of nonconformity and inversion in an ironic and metaphysical tone.

A graphic and photographic supports the visual identity of Sarah Levy, Belgian designer and recipient of the ANDAM Accessories Prize. Known for her timeless yet inventive approach, Levy redefines accessories through hybrid forms, refined craftsmanship, and upcycled materials. The visuals highlight her pragmatic vision, where bold design meets functionality and durability, showcasing iconic pieces like the Habit 23 key bracelet and transformable gloves in a clean, material-focused composition.

Mutamento by Julie Franco is a fashion collection that explores transformation through the lens of gender transition and bodily metamorphosis.
The graphic design of the images, featured on ID Italy, amplifies this vision with a distinctly retrofuturistic aesthetic: synthetic textures, 3D-inspired compositions, and glitch effects immerse the viewer in a hybrid space between virtuality and embodiment. The grid backgrounds, surreal interiors, and chromatic distortions create an atmosphere suspended between sci-fi and simulation, where bodies appear both real and augmented. Graphic elements are not mere decoration but active agents of meaning, enhancing the narrative of mutation and identity reconstruction.

Editorial design for Iconografie, an italian magazine exploring the spirit of the 21st century. I curated in a team the overall editorial design, including layout composition, typographic choices, and visual hierarchy. My work focused on creating a clear and dynamic structure that supports the content and reflects the contemporary themes addressed in the publication.
