Design a diagram that illuminates one aspect of your life according to a clear conceptual and visual framework: this might include habits or lifestyle related to eating, dining, friendship, hygiene, family, clothing, childhood, communication, quirks, dating/relationships, travel, etc. Language and formal syntax, color, and configuration should grow out of the hierarchy and nature of the content/data.
One day, one lotus. Each petal marks a different kind of conversation—gossip, reminders, deep dives, and silly tangents—unfolding like our calls, always branching into something new. Over time, I tracked our long-distance chats, identifying patterns and categorizing them into eight specific topics. After experimenting with different forms, this final shape emerged—turning scattered moments into a shared pattern, a shape that feels like us.
