Theater Sets Redux

An ongoing archive of stories and their symbols, reimagined as minimalist theater sets.

I have always wanted to design theater sets — for repeatedly-told stories, films existing only in cinema, and numerous untold narratives. This project functions as an ongoing archive of stories and their symbols.

The approach prioritizes extracting central visual symbols through abstraction while minimizing input parameters. Midjourney contributes its own interpretive layer to the creative process.
