A major public art commission for Parramatta Lanes, I really want to use this opportunity to highlight migrational experiences through creating costumes and avatars.
4 new costumes/ characters were created, I took inspiration from childhood superhero tv shows such as Kamen Rider and Ultraman
The incredible Kit Wu-Bylett designed and constructed the Orange and Purple costumes. While I worked on the Blue and Gold costumes. Thank you so much Kit! You truely are a legend.
I interviewed 4 of my friends about their migrational experiences. And then Kit and I dissected the interviews to pick out significant elements that reflect their journey. The costumes were created based on those journies and elements.
