I’m Houda Ben Azzouz, a Brussels-based design researcher and visual artist. With a background in journalism and a Master’s in Media and Information Design from LUCA School of Arts, I explore how visual and spatial systems shape perception and how meaning is constructed across cultural, symbolic, and spiritual contexts.
My design research focuses on how perceptions are formed, structured, or excluded in visual and spatial environments. Using information design, I analyze how narratives are built and layered through systems of materiality, abstraction, and visual language. Increasingly, I use curatorial thinking as a method to explore how cultural and spiritual systems communicate meaning, and how these meanings can be expressed through space and design.
Alongside this, my artistic practice explores the storytelling potential of abstraction, materiality, and space. I work across digital and analog media, including data visualization, coding, photography, and printmaking. With a focus on achromatic and symbolic expression, I experiment with texture, contrast, and process to uncover new narrative dimensions.
With over seven years of experience in diversity and inclusion policy and a certificate in diversity management, I bring a strong sensitivity to representation, accessibility, and visibility into both artistic and institutional contexts.
Whether through writing, visual experimentation, or spatial design, I search for the invisible threads that connect us culturally, spiritually, and socially.
