ABIOGENESIS:
Witnessing the beginning of a digital life-form





In collaboration with Kiana Rezaee
Under the Teaching of Gabriel Vigliensoni
Technical support from Sabine Rosenberg and Elio Bidinost

Materials : Kinect, Wekinator, TouchDesigner, Proyector, Mesh fabriC


Abiogenesis is an interactive installation that invites participants to witness the moment when movement becomes life. Suspended inside a darkened room, a responsive digital organism remains dormant until activated by the presence and movement of a human body. Through gestures, proximity, and voluntary play, participants awaken
a learning system that exists only through interaction.

Conceived as a reflection on possible beginnings of life, the installation draws parallels between biological, emotional, and technological processes of emergence:  a cell dividing, a neural connection firing, an idea taking shape, or a system beginning to learn. The work approaches life not as something fixed or autonomous, but as relational: something that unfolds through contact, participation, and movement.

Built using motion data captured through a Kinect sensor and interpreted through Wekinator and TouchDesigner, the system remains dependent on the presence of others. It exists only through activation, sustained by attention, curiosity, and movement.

Abiogenesis ultimately proposes that life unfolds through action: to move is to be, and through movement, newforms of presence come into being.

A LION FRAME 4 MARCHÉ DESI
Parc-Extention  neighbourhood study

Parc-Extension, Montreal's most diverse and one of its densest neighbourhoods, reveals much of its social life in the street. Its informal gathering places, local businesses, and constant pedestrian activity became both the subject and context of my engagement. By mapping the places I frequented and observing recurring patterns of gathering, I became interested in how community is shaped through everyday rituals and shared spaces.

Among these places, Marché Desi emerged as a significant site. Over time, I developed a relationship with the family who run the business. From this exchange, I proposed fabricating a metal frame featuring a lion motif for the store's rear window. They agreed, and the piece was installed!

THE OLYMPIC SEAT FRAGMENT
O-Cycle project
Exhibited at Fonderie Darling, Montréal, QC, alongside 
O-Cycle projects from Concordia Design students.  

In collaboration with Daphne Siracusa
Under the Teaching of Jeremy Petrus
Technical support from Karoline Martin

Materials : Stainless steel, aluminum, reclaimed  teflon fabric, muslin



The Olympic Seat Fragment is made of recycled aluminum pipes connected by galvanized steel fittings. The fabric, sourced from the roofing structure of Montréal’s Olympic Stadium, is a Teflon-coated fiberglass membrane lined with muslin cotton.

The chair translates the stadium’s structural language into a smaller scale by combining an exposed rigid frame with a tensioned membrane. Like the stadium itself, the piece contrasts an industrial skeletal structure with a stretched fabric surface held in suspension.

The work allows a fragment of the Olympic Stadium’s roof to continue performing its structural role through the body of the chair. The project reflects on reuse not only as material recovery, but as the continuation of memory through another form.

CUISINE COMMUNAUTAIRE  & SERRE COLLETIVE
CASES Competition le project

In collaboration with with Mélodie Ah-Waye and Quentin Meilhon
Project superviser Carmela CucuzzellA

Community Design · Intersection Ontario & Iberville streets, Sainte-marie neighbourhood · Tiohtià:ke/ Montréal, Québec


We proposed the transformation of multiple parking lot spaces into a public community kitchen and greenhouse complex. Located at the intersection of Ontario Street and Iberville Street, in the Sainte-Marie neighbourhood in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal.

The design introduces two buildings connected by a suspended bridge, reclaiming the site as an accessible and active space for residents.

Cooking is approached as a collective activity that fosters social interaction and strengthens community life. Acknowledging that food expenses represent a significant portion of household income, the project proposes a sharedkitchen as an affordable and healthy option for the neighborhood. The adjacent greenhouse supports the cultivation of fresh local produce, encouraging sustainable food practices and reinforcing community autonomy.

The main kitchen building is organized over two floors. The ground level is conceived as an open-plan space connected to the street, allowing airflow, flexibility, and the possibility of hosting gatherings and seasonal events. The shared kitchen is located on the upper floor in a more contained environment, fully equipped for collective use. A communal dining area and spaces for rest and social exchange are also integrated. A suspended bridge provides safe and direct access to the greenhouse located across the street, reinforcing the physical and symbolic connection between food production and shared consumption.

This project won the student level price of the CASES competition (2022).

La Table, PIERRETTE
Coffee Table

In collaboration with Simon Pouliot

Materials : Plywood, insulation foam, plaster coating


Pierrette is a three-piece coffee table inspired by fractured rock faces. Developed in Rhinoceros 3D software and later sculpted by hand through measured sections.
The pieces resemble cracked stone surfaces while remaining lightweight and easy to assemble and disassemble, bringing fragments of landscape into the domestic space.
