I’m a multidisciplinary designer working across video, publication, and sound—often under the name goosebatss. My work explores memory, identity, and the emotional noise beneath the surface of things. I’m drawn to fragmented structures, layered media, and the kind of storytelling that does not offer clean resolutions. A lot of what I make sits between the personal and the political, using design to ask questions about silence, erasure, and the instability of truth. I’m research-driven but emotionally led, often starting from a feeling and building outward—toward rhythm, contradiction, and connection. I care about work that feels lived in, that moves through discomfort without flattening it. Whether through film, sound, or printed matter, I want to create experiences that hold complexity and make space for reflection. Design, for me, isn’t about perfection—it’s about honesty, tension, and how we survive ourselves.
Spiral Succession. Selective Silence is a multimedia exploration of historical amnesia, examining how selective memory—both personal and collective—shapes narratives, identities, and generational disconnect. Rooted in the loss of tangible memories of a grandfather never fully known, the project blends film, photography, and publication to restore and reframe a legacy nearly erased. Using VHS footage, family testimonies, and conceptual visuals, the work draws parallels between familial gaps and broader patterns of suppressed histories—particularly within post-Soviet contexts. The project critiques how silence, both intentional and incidental, perpetuates misunderstanding and conflict across generations. The result is an emotionally layered, visually cyclical narrative that mimics the looping nature of memory itself—fragmented, persistent, and fragile. By confronting what is lost, obscured, or deliberately forgotten, the work invites viewers to examine their own relationships to memory, heritage, and historical truth. It is both an act of reclamation and a call to collective reflection.
Hums of Disorganised Vibrations is a visually and sonically rich short film exploring sound as a universal connector. Serving as both a companion and translation of its experimental publication, the piece weaves together video, photography, and audio to mirror the project’s layered, fragmented structure. Each visual choice and sonic element are intentional, reflecting a sensitivity to rhythm, atmosphere, and conceptual storytelling. Through dense overlays, disjointed textures, and shifting compositions, the film explores the impossibility of silence in human experience, embracing chaos as a design principle. This experimental approach demonstrates an ability to build emotionally resonant narratives through nonlinear editing, mixed media, and cohesive visual language. The project is a study in controlled disarray—revealing how design, when rooted in concept, can evoke meaning through disorder. It highlights strength in shaping immersive experiences across platforms and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional design and videographic storytelling.
