This pictorial illustrates an autoethnographic exploration of my design practice for the data physicalization "Shredded Lives: A Decade of Migrant Loss". It emphasizes the parallel development of seven design components — Interaction Mode, Technology, Data Representation, Physical Configuration & Scale, Dataset, Engagement Mode, and Spatial Experience. This flexible, non-hierarchical approach allows each component to inform and evolve alongside the others, stemming from a desire to thoroughly explore the design space without confinement by initial restrictions. As these components overlap and intersect, dynamic interactions occur, leading to the manifestation of design ideas.
