The Invisible Civilization
An Atlas of a World Within
I was inspired by the botanical engravings of 17th-century naturalist Nehemiah Grew, fascinated by the intricate structures hidden inside plants.
I reimagined these historical illustrations as a scientific atlas of an imaginary civilization living within a botanical world. Tiny cells become cities, plant veins turn into pathways, and organic structures reveal an entire hidden society.
My goal was to bring together the beauty of antique scientific illustration and the wonder of discovering a world we never knew existed — inviting viewers to look closer and imagine what might be hidden in the smallest details.

Business:
LUMEX — a dental clinic in Kyiv, 12 years in practice, known for
pain-free treatment and a written guarantee on all work.
Problem:
LUMEX offers a free first consultation to attract new patients —
but because it costs nothing to book, no-shows are a constant drain on chair time. The clinic is small enough that the same person treats patients and handles the front desk, so every booking used to mean a manual callback to confirm a "preferred time" typed into a lead form.
Solution:
The "Book Free Visit" button on the live LUMEX site now leads
straight into a real booking flow — patients pick an actual open slot
instead of guessing at a preferred time, get instant confirmation, and
receive a one-tap day-before reminder to confirm or reschedule. That single
extra commitment point is what cuts the free-slot no-show problem. On the
owner's side, every new booking appears in a live dashboard the moment it's made — no calls, no manual cross-checking against a calendar.

Somewhere inside this early-19th-century silver sauceboat, a serpent is sleeping.
This pair of French Empire–style silver sauceboats bears the mark of A. Rasch & Co., a Bavarian-born silversmith working in Philadelphia. Among the most refined pieces of American silver produced in the early 19th century, they feature boldly sculptural cast serpent handles and ram's-head spouts. The engraved crest belongs to the Milligan family of Maryland.
I found this Rasch & Co. piece (Philadelphia, Empire style, Milligan family crest) in @metmuseum's open archive — and couldn't stop thinking about that cast snake handle. So I built the moment before it existed: the snake still alive, coiled inside the bowl, slowly waking up and folding itself into the handle it was always meant to become.
