MOHA transforms expressionist art into an interactive digital experience.

Bold brushstrokes meet raw texture, punctuated by striking red gestures, a visual language charged with intensity. These marks move from canvas to interface, inviting users to feel the artwork rather than simply view it.

Translating the movement of weather into a digital surface, my atmospheric weather app uses shifting colour, motion, and gradients to echo the natural world.

Instead of simply presenting data, it creates an immersive experience, allowing users to sense the changing atmosphere as it unfolds.

Functional yet poetic, each weather state moves with its own rhythm, giving the interface a quiet, living presence.
