Project Overview

For an economic firm’s stairwell, I created three vertical panels that transform data-driven imagery into a dynamic, visually engaging installation. The firm wanted an artwork that would reflect their work while enhancing the energy and movement of the space.

Concept & Inspiration

Titled "Scan," the piece abstracts data visualization and economic patterns into a striking composition of shimmering glass and embossed textures. Client-specific content is subtly woven into the design, creating a layered, meaningful connection between the artwork and the firm's mission.

Execution & Process

• Material Selection: The use of iridized glass ensures that the panels shift and glimmer with changes in light and perspective.

• Design Approach: The vertical orientation of the panels enhances the sense of movement, mirroring the flow of people through the stairwell.

• Integration: The textures and materials elevate the everyday experience of navigating the space, making an often-overlooked area a focal point.

Visual & Emotional Impact

• The light-catching glass and embossed details create an artwork that feels alive and responsive to motion.

• The design provides a subtle yet powerful reflection of the firm's analytical work, reinforcing brand identity in a sleek, contemporary way.

• The client praised the installation for its ability to energize the space while maintaining a sophisticated, modern aesthetic.

Key Takeaways

This project highlights my ability to translate complex ideas into visually compelling installations, making data and analytics tangible through light and form. Designed for high-traffic areas, the work transforms the act of movement into an interactive visual experience—perfect for corporate, healthcare, and public spaces looking to integrate art, technology, and storytelling.
