“A Knight’s Story”
This creation was inspired by a fictional interpretation of the Nuremberg Armor from The Met’s public archive.
The original piece is a German suit of armor made in Nuremberg around 1520, constructed from steel and leather. Its distinctive fluted surfaces reflect the transition from late Gothic armor toward the fuller forms associated with the Maximilian style.
For this project, I wanted to explore the different stages of the armor’s imagined life — not simply as an object, but as something that existed within an environment, was worn, carried, marked by events, and eventually left behind as a trace of history.
The challenge was to communicate a specific feeling without explaining everything, leaving enough space for the viewer to complete the story themselves.
Really happy to take part in the Challenge using FLORA. Exploring The Met’s archive was already inspiring, but digging deeper into the histories and possible narratives surrounding individual objects made the process even more interesting.
