A visual exploration of the gaze, intimacy and light. Extreme close-ups, analog textures and saturated blue and amber tones come together to create a cinematic atmosphere inspired by 8mm film and late-80s imagery.

The Data Merchant
What if the most valuable commodity of our time replaced the most valuable commodity of theirs?
Inspired by Ralph Earl’s portrait of Elijah Boardman, an 18th-century American textile merchant, I reimagined him as a contemporary Data Merchant.
The fabrics surrounding Boardman become server racks. His textile shop becomes a data center. The merchant remains — only the commodity has changed.
Built and explored in FLORA.

Nice job done
THE ANIMAL THAT KNEW
What if the prey remembers every moment that came before the attack?
Inspired by Antoine-Louis Barye’s Tiger Surprising an Antelope from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I reimagined the sculpture as a meditation on memory and instinct. The tiger exists in one moment, while faint photographic traces of the antelope appear behind it, suggesting the memories of the moments that came before.
I kept the original sculpture physically intact and changed its meaning through time: the bronze becomes a record of what the prey remembers.
Built and explored in FLORA.

Brilliant Concept. I love this
✨ For this challenge, I reimagined an Arts and Crafts cabinet from The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Open Access collection by bringing the painted figures on its surface to life.
🎨 What interested me most was the relationship between the painting and the cabinet as a physical object. Instead of simply animating the figures, I wanted their actions to affect the cabinet itself, allowing the painted world and the functional object to briefly interact before returning to its original state.
🌿 I explored and developed the concept in FLORA, creating multiple variations, testing timing, extending scenes, and building the final sequence through an iterative visual process.
🎙️ The project walkthrough voiceover was created with ElevenLabs, and the original music was generated with Suno.
