DARI — Armor, Leaves & Glass
DARI is a contemporary fashion collection that brings historical design into a modern wardrobe. I created a custom Recraft Style using three references from The Metropolitan Museum of Art: a Milanese steel helmet from around 1475, William Morris’s Willow Bough wallpaper from 1887, and an American pressed-glass salt cellar from 1830–1840.
Their contrasting qualities—armor, foliage, and glass—informed an emerald-led collection of clothing, accessories, and tech objects. The Recraft project includes 27 individual item studies and a final series of 10 fashion campaign images.
The accompanying film brings four selected images into motion and presents the references, development, final collection, and before-and-after comparisons.

The Natural History of Digital Habits
I found a hand-coloured illustration from Edward Donovan’s The Natural History of British Insects, Volume VIII (1799), in the Internet Archive Book Images collection on Flickr. I used this archival reference to create my custom Recraft style, Digital Natural History — 1799. My six-image series imagines small creatures using smartphones, wireless earbuds, food delivery, video calls, electric scooters, and robot vacuums. Antique botanical compositions turn modern digital habits into specimens from an impossible natural-history archive.
