2022This project originates from an exploration of abstract communication between living entities. By investigating the visual and conceptual representation of unseen dialogues, it serves as the foundational piece of a broader, multi-part study on the subject. Through the interplay of form, color, and movement, the work aims to question the ways in which different life forms transmit and interpret information beyond conventional human language.Credits

This project stems from the idea of exploring the creation of an abstract communication language among living entities. It serves as an introductory element of a multi-piece investigation into how information is exchanged beyond spoken or written words. Inspired by the intricate, often imperceptible signals that shape interactions in nature, this work attempts to visualize the unseen threads of dialogue that connect all forms of life.
Communication is often thought of in human terms—words, symbols, and structured languages. However, countless living organisms communicate in ways we barely understand. Plants release chemical signals to warn each other of danger. Swarms of insects move as one, guided by unseen cues. Even within our own bodies, neurons and cells exchange information constantly, creating a silent yet highly sophisticated conversation. This project delves into these ideas, translating invisible networks of connection into a sensory experience that bridges the gap between science and art.
Using abstract visual forms, fluid motion, and contrasting energies, the work aims to create a system of expression that transcends linguistic barriers. The aesthetic is built upon organic, evolving shapes that mirror the way information flows in biological and digital systems. The interplay between chaos and structure reflects the complexity of non-verbal communication—where randomness and order coexist in harmony.
????nication as something visceral, intuitive, and alive. It is an invitation to listen—not just with the ears, but with the eyes, the body, and the subconscious mind.
As the first chapter of a broader study, this piece lays the foundation for a larger conversation on interconnectivity, perception, and the nature of understanding. How much do we truly perceive of the signals that surround us? What new forms of communication could emerge if we expanded our awareness beyond human language? These are the questions that drive this exploration.
By engaging with this work, the viewer is invited to step outside conventional modes of comprehension and experience communion.
