I often read things that aren’t there. My brain fills in, corrects, or twists letters into something new. That instability never quite trusting what you see is what it’s like to have dyslexia. It became the starting point for my graduation project.

Concept
Zie je wel is a spatial installation built around my personal experience with severe dyslexia. At first glance it looks like a piece of furniture  a bench, a cabinet, something familiar. But from every angle it reveals something different. Lenticular prints shift as you move around them. Typographic elements mislead or disappear. Nothing stays fixed.

The confusion is intentional. It mirrors the experience of constantly doubting your own perception and invites visitors to feel that instability rather than just understand it.

Installation
The photographs don’t function independently from the object. Together they become an experience: something you have to move around, look at twice, and reconsider. The object itself is hybrid and ambiguous, neither quite furniture nor quite art. That in-between space is where the work lives.

Why
Dyslexia is often seen as a problem to be solved. This project asks a different question: what if that second look the doubt, the reinterpretation  is also a source of creativity? Zie je wel doesn’t explain dyslexia. It embodies it.
