self portrait in gray


 The process for me was rough, I restarted this project three times and didn't like the way it looked. I struggled to understand how to do it properly so it ended up like this.

Through imagery like the Teeter-Totter Wall that spans a border fence and giant text installations such as “ACT NOW,” the exhibition visually dramatizes how design interventions can challenge conflict and spark dialogue. By juxtaposing vivid photos, maps, and objects from global projects, it translates complex issues about division, reconciliation, and collective humanity into accessible, emotionally resonant visual experiences that engage viewers beyond text. 2. Seeing how Designing Peace uses strong visual metaphors inspires a data visualization approach that foregrounds narrative and emotion as much as numerical insight. Instead of only showing numbers or charts, I would think about how imagery can make data feel tangible — for example, using everyday objects or relatable scenes to rep...
