STATEMENT

My research delves into the intricate cognitive processes of neurodivergent individuals, specifically the twice-exceptional, exploring their unique methods of perceiving, gathering, processing, and communicating information. I utilize materials typically found in domestic architecture as metaphors, thereby illustrating the diversity of cognitive and spatial identities.

Rooted in the exploration of materiality, my work draws parallels between the properties of these materials and brain functions, revealing the often-invisible mental processes at play. From this perspective, I aim to demonstrate the significant impact these dynamics have on the daily lives of neurodivergent individuals and their communities.

In welcoming this approach, I strive to foster coexistence and inclusivity, promoting the recognition and celebration of the richness inherent in diverse experiences. My work acts as a bridge between various perspectives, cultivating a deeper and more compassionate understanding of our shared human experience.
