The Last Memory

Coin cabinet — Charles Percier, Paris, ca. 1809–19

The Last Memory reimagines Charles Percier's Coin cabinet as an archive of human memory. Instead of preserving coins and medals, its drawers preserve fleeting fragments of human life. Most compartments have gone dark, leaving only a few fragile memories behind. I kept the cabinet grounded in the visual language of a real museum artifact and introduced one impossible idea: what if memory itself could be physically preserved?

What if a "still life" wasn't dead at all? 🍎🌱

For the #FLORAMuseum challenge, I reimagined an open-access work from @metmuseum without changing its composition, lighting, or adding anything to the scene.

I simply let time move forward.

The fruit decays, seeds begin to sprout, and a “dead” still life slowly becomes a living cycle again.

Built and iterated in FLORA, using the original artwork as the visual anchor.

Nature is never truly still. And never truly dead. 🌱

So cool!
