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.
