Sight.

Systems Intelligence applied to visual perception.

An ode to composition that gives thought form

AI-generated image using Gemini. See the prompt here.

I've always been curious about not just what looks cohesive, but why.

Vision carries information about distance, intention, hierarchy, memory, and power.
It shapes how we read culture, and how culture reads us.

We all train our sight to recognize difference, quality, and beauty.

For me, that training has taken many forms:
building computer vision models,
studying design and human–computer interaction,
walking through galleries and grocery aisles,
watching tutorials as a visual learner,
scrolling through Instagram and TikTok,
observing how clothes change a silhouette,
how architecture commands attention,
how interior design directs movement through space.

Each one a lesson in how designers and engineers treat visual experience as infrastructure.

I train myself to notice alignment, hierarchy, and clarity;
when a layout confuses instead of communicates,
when a frame feels complete.

My Miro boards and Notion pages are whiteboards for visual thinking; one of my superpowers.

Photography (and image generation) has become a form of attention training;
a daily practice of noticing light, distance, and balance.

I designed this website with that same intention:
every margin, image, and line of text arranged to show how composition gives thought form.

Systems intelligence in sight is noticing the relationships, not just the things, that make something feel complete.

How Sight Connects to the Other 7

SCENT → Sight is informed by what you smell.

TOUCH → Texture is first visible before contact.

TASTE → The first bite happens with the eyes.

SOUND → Music videos taught us sound has a color.

SPACE → Architecture is frozen vision.

TIME → Visual signatures: motion blur, long exposure.

SYSTEM → Algorithms curate your digital world.
