01
Question
What will remain of us, and who will misread it?
02
Idea
Use the authority of the museum label to describe objects that are entirely invented — and let the visitor decide what is true.
03
World
Vitrine light, mineral neutrals, machine-set catalogue typography and hand-made surfaces sitting in deliberate tension.
04
Making
- Generative form studies translated into ceramic maquettes
- Hand-thrown and kiln-fired prototypes
- Fictional catalogue written in institutional voice
- Photographic documentation as archaeological record

05
Experience
Visitors move through the vitrines reading labels before they look, then look again and lose their certainty.
06
Result
Twelve artefacts, a printed catalogue and a digital collection index.
07
Reflection
Speculation is not escapism. It is the fastest way to see the present clearly.
