Nutrition and safety in dysphagia, with a porcelain finish.

· The challenge

The porcelain effect — porcelain skin — is a digital technique that erases every last trace of imperfection and leaves a finish that is absurdly smooth, polished and glossy. The challenge was to put it at the service of a delicate clinical subject: the nutrition and safety of people who have difficulty swallowing. Wrapping the message in that halo of flawless perfection was how we would get the audience to stop scrolling and stare.

· How we tackled it

First we fixed the visual language: enamelled surfaces, soft glazes, gilded edges and light with no harsh shadows, so every piece looks sculpted rather than rendered. Then we translated the concept into a repertoire of porcelain hearts, lungs and vases intertwined with fruit, flowers and branches. The set comes together in a video piece with white transitions that let each still life breathe.
