What happens between two paintings?

For the FLORA Museum Challenge, I started with a series of paintings depicting Krishna from The Met’s Open Access collection.

Instead of treating each painting as an isolated artwork, I imagined them as frames from a much larger timeline.

Each original painting became an anchor — a preserved moment in the story.

Using FLORA, I explored what might happen before, during, and after those moments: bringing subtle movement to the characters, clothing, landscapes, water, architecture, and atmosphere while trying to preserve the visual language of the source material.

Then I stitched those moving paintings together into an event timeline, turning separate works created centuries ago into one continuous visual journey.

The most interesting part wasn't simply making the paintings move. It was imagining the time that exists between them. https://app.flora.ai/view/js72bdbkzmhnjbmy5s83p0d1j18dx3tj

The paintings preserve the moments. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/849528 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/849507 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/64890 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/37997 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/849518 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/849520 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/37886

This project explores the motion between them.
