Morae (Latin, n., pl):
pause; duration of time, delay
Morae approaches taxidermy as a study of behavior, movement, and the quiet memory of the natural world. Grounded in scientific observation and executed to museum-level standards, each piece is crafted to honor the anatomy of unique species while expressing the rhythms, relationships, and fleeting gestures of nature.
Founded and operated by Christine Chang, the studio reflects her background in architecture and landscape design, where a deep sensitivity to detail, composition, and narrative informs every piece. Her work explores the relationship between permanence and impermanence — a place where preservation blends anatomy, ecology, and artistry; capturing moments that are contemplative and true to life.
