I explored how people in Malta perceive beauty through photography by collecting images from archives and participants, alongside stories from everyday life. Using interviews and surveys, I gathered qualitative and quantitative insights to understand cultural identity, emotion, and meaning behind visual narratives.

I synthesized research findings using affinity mapping and thematic analysis to identify key challenges in cultural representation and beauty perception. This helped frame the core problem: Malta lacks inclusive channels that support cross-cultural understanding through everyday visual storytelling.

Based on the findings, I designed a content taxonomy that organizes narratives into cultural categories such as architecture, tradition, everyday life, and nature. I then translated this structure into wireframes and a high-fidelity interactive prototype, ensuring consistent navigation and storytelling flow.
