Project: Between Words and Worlds: Visualising the Multilingual Neurodivergent Mind

What happens when you think in two (or more) languages and experience the world a little differently? My project brings these invisible inner worlds to life using eye-tracking, storytelling, and interactive art. We’ll track how eyes move, how emotions shift, and how identity feels when you’re juggling languages and neurodivergent experiences — then turn that data into immersive exhibitions and visual magic.

I’m a language teacher turned cognitive science explorer — and as a bilingual neurodivergent person myself, this project is deeply personal. It’s a celebration of brains that don’t fit the mould, and voices that often go unheard. I’m passionate about creating spaces where people can see and feel what it means to live between languages and minds.
