DROP THE EGO - The notion of a lone genious starchitect is outdated and I try to dismantle the cult of personality.
BREAK THE MOLD, REJECT THE HERO - I collaborate with specialists, other artists and I embrace diversity.
MY BOSS ACKNOWLEDGES MY TALENT - I am given credit for the work I do, because architecture is a collective effort and not a one-man show.
I ACT SUSTAINABLE - I am individually responsible for collective progress. I bike to the office and my trash is always sorted.
I REDEFINE MY ROLE - I do not have to build to be an architect. I normalize architecture is not (always) the solution.

Instagram affirmations have gained significant popularity recently as a form of positive self-affirmation and personal growth practice on the social media platform. Affirmations, in general, are positive statements or beliefs that individuals use to challenge negative thoughts or self-doubt, promoting self-confidence and a positive mindset.in collaboration with

In this project, we explored the transformative power of affirmations in the architectural labor market. Even though affirmations are positive statements and inspire personal growth, they can sometimes contribute to toxic positivity, causing individuals to gaslight themselves to maintain sanity. We shed light on the realities faced by architectural professionals, who often navigate an exploitative and stressful labor market. The point is to raise awareness, encourage dialogue, and advocate for healthier work environments by challenging norms, promoting collaboration, and advocating for improved conditions.
