Designing with Meaning
Moving beyond data, I wanted to create visual narratives that honour these personal reflections. Inspired by my own Polish heritage, I turned to traditional Polish art forms, Wycinanki and Koniaków lace. Rich in detail and symmetry, I was inspired to adopt this visual language, integrating tradition with contemporary design and data visualization.

The survey responses were translated into numerically-assigned values, which served as inputs for generating symmetrical, geometric forms. Each pairing produced a mandala-like shape, abstractly encoding the emotional nuances of one’s cultural experience. While some participants had near-identical inputs, resulting in similar visuals, others diverged entirely, producing entirely distinct outcomes. To maintain visual cohesion, each generated form was refined to reduce noise, then pixelated as a deliberate design choice to create a bold visual language that anchors the entire project.
