Known as Charleston’s “Huguenot House,” this house was built by a wealthy rice planter in the early 19th century. A national historic landmark, it now belongs to the Charleston Museum. The Manigaults descended from French Huguenots who came to American to escape persecution in Europe. One of Charleston’s most graceful structures, its rooms have been restored to their original colors. In one of its upstairs rooms, a decomposing mirror reflects an elegant chandelier. I made this faded abstracted image of it as a reminder that all grandeur is fleeting. The faded colors and dream like blurring within this reflection suggests the passage of time itself.
