PROJECT [NULL]

The process began with subtraction. We dismantled everything that looked like design: no hierarchy, no guidance, no softness. The interface became a void, an anti-experience where silence replaced structure. Every decision was an act of erasure, reducing the site until it became pure function wrapped in emptiness. The goal: to make the user feel the absence.

Once the screen was empty, we gave the void a voice. Lines of code became texture, glitches became rhythm. Subtle movement, fading type, echoes of interactivity, all hinting that something still lived beneath the surface. This phase was about animating absence, making nothingness pulse with digital tension.

Built in Svelte with a hand-written canvas layer, because we needed frame-level control over how the page erases itself. Scroll direction is inverted deliberately, and the navigation reorders on every visit. Nothing here is an accident, including the parts that look like mistakes.

The portfolio was written up in four design publications and got the artist three gallery commissions in its first year. Visitors stay an average of six minutes, which for a site with no menu is the entire point.
