Painting the Peaceable Kingdom
Inspired by Edward Hicks’ Peaceable Kingdom from The Met Open Access collection, I imagined what this strange, dreamlike gathering might have looked like if the artist had painted it from life.
I reconstructed the scene as a cinematic living tableau: the girls, lion, leopard, cattle, sheep and other animals become real models posing together in an autumn landscape, while a painter observes them and translates this impossible gathering back onto canvas.
The film moves from the original museum artwork into a living world, then reveals the artist painting that world before returning to the historical image.

A project that’s incredibly close to my heart.
Had the opportunity to work on the creative direction for
@ekaniarchive debut campaign,
Chapter 01 - Straight from Soil, alongside a talented team that brought this vision to life.
From shaping the visual language to building a story rooted in Barmer’s appliqué craft, every frame was created with intention, patience, and a deep respect for the artisans behind it.
Grateful to everyone who made this possible. Looking forward to sharing more from this journey.
