Afterlight
Des Lucréce, 2025

At the intersection
of beauty and decay.

A field of flowers. The shell of a car. Screens, displays, soup cans. The remnants of a life built on desire, convenience, and novelty.

Created for The Erosion of Time at the Museum of Art + Light, Afterlight holds these objects in the in-between: past their moment of use, but not yet erased.

“What is lost becomes the ground for what comes next.”DES LUCRÉCE

03 / Beyond the screen

A landscape
to stand inside.

Created for the Mezmereyz Gallery’s immersive 3,500-square-foot projection space at the Museum of Art + Light.

The work invites you to feel the distance between what we make and how long it matters.
