SIX SKIES explores what happens when details from museum objects are no longer confined to the scale in which we usually encounter them.
I selected six Open Access works from The Met, each carrying a distinct ornamental language from a different culture, and reimagined their patterns at architectural scale.
Instead of remaining on a ceramic object, stained-glass window, tile, jar, or dish, each ornament temporarily takes over the same ceiling inside The Met.
I imagined the ceiling as a projection or holographic installation: one architectural space capable of revealing different histories through light, pattern, and scale.

Concept & Narrative
In 2226, deep-level excavation units uncovered a perfectly preserved 19th-century mechanical pocket watch, untouched by time. Set within the minimalist halls of the central archives, the relic is analyzed through adaptive quantum holograms. Curators study the ancient gearwork alongside floating biometric data streams, decoding the lost tactile craftsmanship of an analog world.
