Alycia Rainaud built Maalavidaa around a 2018 thesis on the role of psychology in design. The neon gradients and saturated abstraction aren't decorative — they're the argument: color as a tool for emotional regulation, rhythm as something you can actually feel. The work doesn't tell you how to feel. It gives you something to feel with.
