About Made of UsChapter 03

What if everythingwe love were madeof all the peoplebehind it?

Everyday objects built from hundreds of tiny people, painted in bold Expressionist colour. An alarm clock made of the people who wake up with you, a coffee cup made of its whole crew, a phone made of every crowd behind the screen.

Made of Us: originChapter 04

It starts with two paintings. It ends as a crowd.

About Line 26Chapter 07
Line 26:Welcome to the network

What if a city’s metro
had a tile mosaic mural
at every station?

An imaginary underground with four lines and sixteen stations. Every station has its own ceramic tile mural, built from a strict colour grid, expressive curves, flat planes and thick black lines. The daily rush, our screens, what we taste and how we move.

Line 26: originChapter 08

It starts with three paintings. It ends underground.
