Study, Perforated Screen

This is a Study. It is dated 2023. Its medium is laser-cut mdf and led. It is a part of the department.

“Designing for stadium experiences requires sensitivity to scale. Faraway audiences want to view their idols up close. As I work with monumental screens, I consider how they might present a performer while also supporting the story behind the songs. In this study, I explored a screen with a round, womb-like hole through which a performer might enter the stage.”
