Philistia
A production for Playwrights Horizons Theater School.
The costumes of Philistia extend the performers' physicality, embodying earth, water, or fire through color, texture, and movement-driven design. Layered, weathered fabrics in deep reds, browns, and blues evoke the toll of migration and the passage of time, emphasizing destruction and renewal. Frayed edges, wrapped layers, and fluid textiles enhance adaptability, reflecting the ever-changing identities of those shaped by cycles of migration, conflict, and survival.

Copacabana: The Ghosts of Glamour
My design concept captures the fragmented memory of 70s nightlife—dazzling yet tinged with tragedy. Through a hazy, dreamlike lens, the audience will experience the fleeting glamour of disco, where moments of celebration are overshadowed by an underlying sense of loss. Costumes, inspired by iconic cocktails and distinct fashion eras, heighten this contrast, immersing viewers in a world both nostalgic and unsettling.

Eurydice
The costume design for Eurydice balances the real and surreal, reflecting the play’s poetic fragmentation. The living world is structured with clean, contemporary silhouettes in warm earth tones, while the underworld is fluid and ethereal, featuring ghostly hues and distressed fabrics. Blending modern fashion with classical influences, the design uses texture, asymmetry, and draped silhouettes to evoke memory, transformation, and the timeless liminality between life and death.
