THE SHADOW WENT HOME
A temple was saved from the water. Its horizon was not.
Inspired by David Roberts's 1848 watercolor The Temple at Dendur, Nubia from The Met Open Access collection. The Temple of Dendur was relocated from Nubia to New York to save it from rising waters caused by the Aswan High Dam. In this 42-second film, the stone remains inside The Met while its shadow slips through glass, crosses the water, and returns to the footprint it left beside the Nile.
The piece asks what preservation means when an object survives but its place cannot follow.

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.

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.

I reimagined the original mountain landscape as a forgotten world where an ancient civilization lies beneath the water. I preserved the dramatic mountains, clouds, and flowing landscape of the original artwork while introducing subtle submerged buildings and architectural remains beneath the surface. The contrast between the untouched natural landscape and the hidden traces of human civilization creates a peaceful, mysterious atmosphere. I wanted the piece to feel like a lost chapter of history discovered beneath an otherwise timeless landscape.
