I built KAUKAU - a modern bowl inspired by the ancient Egyptian Marsh Bowl from 1550 BCE at the Met Museum. The original bowl celebrated the Nile marsh and the harvest with painted papyrus and fish. I reimagined it as a modern Ugandan food bowl, celebrating Uganda's seasonal delicacy of fried grasshoppers served on a fresh green banana leaf. Inside the bowl I wrote KAUKAU to brand it as a product that connects ancient history to modern Ugandan culture. I created this with FLORA using museum lighting and a clean product style photo.

flora - Museum Where Art Grows
Concept: The letter 'f' is deeply rooted, nurturing a new glowing sapling. It shows that in Flora Museum, art doesn't just hang on walls, it grows.

THE WRONG CAPE
The Wrong Cape reimagines Edouard Manet’s Mademoiselle V. . . in the Costume of an Espada (1862) by building a cinematic world around Victorine Meurent’s pose.
In the original painting, Victorine appears as a male espada, yet her shoes are unsuitable for bullfighting and her pink cape is the “wrong” hue. I treated those contradictions as my creative brief: alternating arena wides, intimate close-ups, shifting expressions, horse details, restrained gestures, and studies of the cape itself.
The film ends by pulling away from Manet’s unaltered painting, revealing the source behind every shot. The visual development and generation workflow was created and iterated on the FLORA canvas.

For someone who says they aren't an artist, this is a confident result. The piece feels bold and intentional, and the experimentation really comes through.
