Memory in Blue | A Museum Object, Reimagined
A small object can open the door to a much larger world.
Memory in Blue begins with William, the blue faience hippopotamus in The Met’s collection. The film moves from the object to its lotus motifs, then into an imagined waterscape before returning to the sculpture.
My intention was to encourage a closer look. Colour, surface and decoration become starting points for a visual journey, giving viewers time to notice details and form an emotional connection with the object.
I developed the concept, generated the imagery and motion through Higgsfield, and brought the scenes together through editing, typography and an original instrumental soundtrack. The imagined scenes are an artistic interpretation.
For museums, galleries and cultural organisations, this approach can support exhibition teasers, short collection films and digital interpretation. A carefully chosen object can become the centre of a story that invites people to explore further.

BEYOND CAPSULE — Brand Identity, Packaging & Art Direction
Know what is inside.
An independent identity for a fictional US-market supplement line, developed from the information on the label outward.
The starting point was a nutraceutical brand with a futuristic aesthetic. The challenge was to explain its composition and formats without making that aesthetic stand in for evidence of results.
01 / Collection and detail.
The line presents ashwagandha root powder in two formats: capsules and powder. Format, ingredient and quantity lead the reading order. Yellow-green identifies capsules; lavender identifies powder. The palette carries through the label bands, lids, colored capsule halves and scoop. Names and numerical codes support recognition alongside color.
02 / From 3D to packaging.
The jars and accessories were built in Blender around that identification system. One half of each capsule is colored, while the other is transparent. The label hierarchy moves from the front panel into Supplement Facts, suggested use and supporting information. The second board pairs original 3D renders with the flat label artwork so the packaging can be read as a designed object, not only as a campaign image.
03 / Editorial and applications.
The same structure extends to a digital entry screen and A5 product sheets. The studio campaign explores the collection through low angles, top views, macro textures and a capsule held between fingers. Product references guide the AI-assisted images, with selection focused on consistency of color, packaging and scale. The accompanying 20-second film animates the selected stills and typography, with an original instrumental soundtrack.

I love how you pair the colors
Here is the canvas with workflow on Higgsfield in case anyone is curious.
Have always wanted to work with one of car industry's giants.
Thank you for trusting me with 2027 model shots for marketing.

Playing around with SaaS motion using Claude + After Effects + Higgsfield.
Just started experimenting with smooth movements, little bounces, and some morphing techniques.
Still figuring things out, but this workflow is pretty interesting. If this keeps working, making a full explainer video might not take a whole week anymore. 😄
Interesting workflow mix. Which part benefits most from Claude: planning the animation or building the After Effects setup?
