I reimagined the medieval Limoges reliquary from The Met as a portal connecting the past with the future. Inspired by its historic blue enamel, gilded repoussé details, and religious narrative scenes, I preserved the original character and craftsmanship while transforming its sacred interior into a luminous vision of civilization in 2200. The contrast between the centuries-old artifact and the futuristic world represents how human creativity, memory, and storytelling can survive and evolve across time. I used FLORA to explore the transformation, composition, lighting, atmosphere, and visual storytelling, creating a contemporary museum-quality interpretation while keeping the original artwork clearly visible and central to the concept
I’d love to hear your perspective on this reinterpretation. What do you think works best—the transformation, the atmosphere, or the connection between the original artwork and the futuristic vision

The Last Portrait — 2125
Inspired by Rembrandt’s Portrait of a Man (ca. 1655–60) from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I reimagined the painting as a preserved human-memory archive in the year 2125.
I kept the original portrait’s emotional presence, dramatic lighting, dark palette, and painterly character, while transforming its surroundings into a futuristic museum experience. Holographic figures represent memories preserved across generations, while the glowing architecture suggests a future where technology becomes part of how humanity remembers history.
The goal was to create a dialogue between classical art and speculative technology — showing that while the way we preserve memories may change, human emotion remains timeless
Repose, 2026.
In 1895, John White Alexander painted a woman reclining in quiet elegance.... Her gaze heavy with longing, her white dress pooling around her like water. She was desired. But was she loved?
131 years later, she's still in the same pose. Same gaze. Same silence. But now the room is a Manhattan apartment at night, the fabric is satin, and in her hand — a phone. Glowing. Unread messages.
Nothing has changed except everything.

Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's The Potato Peeler (1885), The Last Worker imagines a distant future where automation has replaced almost all manual labor. One human continues the traditional act of preparing food by hand, even as machines perform the same task with perfect efficiency.
The work explores the tension between technological progress and human craftsmanship, asking what remains meaningful when machines can replace the act of making. I preserved the quiet, earthy atmosphere of Van Gogh's original while imagining its emotional afterlife in an automated world.
