the first piece that caught my eye was "A Bouquet of Flowers" by Clara Peeters 💐
I love the darkness of it in contrast with the colorful petals of the flowers. And even though I am not usually a flower lover, for some reason this caught my eye, and I couldn't get it out of my head.
So I brought it onto @FLORA and started playing around with it.
Immediately it reminded me of those Botanicals sets from LEGO - so I KNEW that was gonna be my direction. Taking a 2D, oil on wood piece of art from circa 1612, and turning it into a 3D contemporary product that would bring me so much joy.
You can see below:
⭐ the final video, of course
⭐ the screenshot from my FLORA canvas
⭐ and the LEGO box I came across earlier this week that made this idea bloom (pun intended!)
Also, here's the link to my public project: https://app.flora.ai/view/js7d95tdsz8ma01n1nada2ffbs8drvjx
PS: there will be a behind-the-scenes type video down in the comments 👇

Beautifully done.

What if damage wasn’t a flaw, but proof that something survived?
For the FLORA × The Met challenge, I started with an 18th-century shot-proof breastplate from The Met’s archive — a piece deliberately fired at to prove its strength.
I reimagined that same logic as PROOF, a protective vest for skateboarders.
Instead of hiding wear, the vest is designed to record it. As the outer black fabric tears through impact, different coloured layers are exposed depending on the depth of the damage.
Every fall leaves evidence.
Every scar becomes part of the object.
And even if thousands were manufactured, continued use would eventually make every vest one of one.
The original armor was damaged once to prove it could survive.
PROOF proves itself every time it survives.
I built and explored the full concept in FLORA, from the original museum piece and material studies to the final system, imagery and presentation.
I also recorded a full process walkthrough covering why I chose the piece, the concept behind the damage system, my iterations, models, and the FLORA canvas.
My submission for the FLORA × The Met Challenge.
This is such a strong example of turning damage into a design language rather than something to hide. I especially love the idea that every impact permanently changes the vest, meaning the object slowly becomes a record of its own survival. The connection between the historical...
My entry for Flora Museum - Where Art Grows Challenge on Contra! 🌸
I designed a logo where art truly grows - blooming peony emerging from light.

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.

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.
