Pattern Archive

Pattern Archive is an entry-based journal documenting my initial emotion, behaviour, and thought responses to patterns in my day-to-day encounters from October 9th, 2024, to April 14th, 2025. I use psychology topics such as attention theory and Cannon-Bard/Two-Factor Theory (Schachter-Singer) emotional theories. to guide my analysis. Viewers can feel my emotions through written entries, enhancing their imagination. The archive hopes to reveal how visual patterns psychologically affect my well-being and emotional state. Full entries with images can be accessed at generationofpatterns.com!
