Set design for the theatrical play, “Lady Aoi“- a piece inspired by a Mishima text and the Noh theater. In this design, I overcame the challenges of reinterpreting Japanese theatrical art in a modern way and creating a specific mood that followed the actors from a hospital bed to a seaside beach to support the story. The play is set in Japan’s post-war era and revolves around the theme of a married man who is pursued by the spirit of a woman that he neglects. The set design is an original creation that uses materials such as sand, wood, metal, and plaster.
