THE PEACOCK | Creative Writing, Essay & Editorial Project
The Peacock is a personal essay published on TABLE FOR NOBODY about solitude, attraction, vanity, and the absurd things we do when someone makes us feel alive again.
Set in a Berlin shelter, the piece follows a man who catches himself performing the role of the charming gentleman, moving between rooms, offering unsolicited advice, and trying to look completely unbothered. He knows exactly what he's doing. He just can't stop.
The project combines autobiographical storytelling, dark humour, literary observation, and an unpolished, conversational voice. It explores the gap between the person we think we are and the ridiculous creature we become when we want to be liked.

This image showcases a premium fruit-flavoured date seed infusion stick packaging design for a fictional brand called DATEWISE. The design combines modern packaging graphics, realistic 3D tin-can mockups, vibrant fruit photography, and a soft pastel environment to create a high-end commercial product presentation.
The packaging features three flavours: Very Berry, Orange Burst, and Apple Royale. Each rectangular tin has rounded corners, a pastel-coloured background, bold black serif typography, fruit illustrations, and a dark burgundy information panel at the bottom.
The products are arranged on layered purple display platforms, surrounded by fresh fruits such as apples, oranges, raspberries, blueberries, cherries, kiwi, and dragon fruit. The pink-to-blue gradient background, soft lighting, subtle shadows, and glossy surfaces create a luxurious advertising aesthetic.
Design style: Premium FMCG Packaging, 3D Product Mockup, Photorealistic Product Advertising, Pastel Colour Grading, and Editorial Art Direction.
