Arena of the Abyss (2024)

Collaboration


This collaborative performance project was developed by a group of five, starting from each member's favorite movie characters. From there, we imagined a cast of new characters who might live inside a deep-sea gladiatorial arena. The final performance took place in a setting designed to feel like a haunting trench at the bottom of the ocean, accompanied by eerie deep-sea soundtracks and dramatic lighting. Perfomer clashed metal swords against fences to amplify the atmosphere of a battle arena.

My Contribution:
  • Designed and created the shoulder armor inspired by horseshoe crabs

  • Constructed a denim-based dress with shredded elements for a distressed effect

  • Made custom footwear to match the character design

  • Carved and attached the wooden spine structure, which served as a base for the large wooden spikes
