This piece reimagines an 18th-century Meissen porcelain chocolate pot from The Met’s collection. The original vessel, with its hand-painted floral bouquet, gilt fittings, and dark turned wood handle, remains recognizable and intact. In The Metamorphic Herbarium, the painted flowers come alive and extend into delicate, translucent three-dimensional blooms—as if centuries of stillness in a museum finally allowed the decoration to breathe. The work places this quiet transformation inside a futuristic museum conservatory at night, honoring the object’s craftsmanship while imagining a new life within its botanical decoration.
