MEET ME BEYOND | MR installation | NEW IMAGES FESTIVAL | 2025
‘Meet Me Beyond – Part 1’ is an immersive mixed reality experience. The site-specific installation, hosted inside the chiurch Saint-Eustache Paris during NewImages Festival, aimes to connect visitors of all ages with their inner selves and explore the intersections of technology and spirituality.
Utilizing mixed reality, procedural algorithms, and artificial intelligence, new perspectives unfold on the interplay of spirituality and human consciousness. The installation addresses questions such as: Can technology convey, generate, or reproduce spiritual experiences? How can digital environments influence the sense of intimacy in spiritual exploration? Can AI serve as a spiritual mediator, and how might this change our perception of guidance?

INTERIOR EQUALITIES | interior architecture | HEAD – Genève & UEFA | 2025
The project ‘Interior Equalities – Redesigning the Locker Room Experience’ aims to improve existing changing room facilities for young football players. They often lack atmospheric qualities and sufficient capacities, compromising the privacy and comfort of young athletes. The male-dominated culture prevalent in many sports clubs can create an unwelcoming environment for female and non-binary players.
Initiated by the UEFA Innovation Hub in collaboration with ThinkSport and the Swiss Football Association, this project started as a semester project in the Department of Interior Architecture at HEAD – Genève. Thirteen students designed individual spatial interventions aimed at making football facilities more inclusive and user-friendly. The basis was extensive research, including an analysis of various locker room designs, examination of user questionnaires, and engagement with contemporary discourse on equality in interior architecture. Advanced technologies such as 3D scanning were employed to analyse existing spaces, while mixed reality headsets enabled students to create their design concepts at a 1:1 scale.
The individual proposals formed the foundation for developing a functional prototype. Partnering with OSZ Worbboden, two existing locker rooms underwent comprehensive renovations and replacement of furniture elements.
Presented at Unstoppable: Women’s EURO Final Forum, Basel.
