This series delves into transformation, identity, and survival within an alien ecosystem. Inspired by the movie ‘Nope’. I imagined a scenario where humans, instead of dying are absorbed and evolved into functional extensions such as organs of a greater being.
One costume made from inflatable latex, represents the human body morphing into a fluid storage place. The other costume that is 3d printed, symbolizes bones growing outside of the body to become antennas to detect small vibrations in space.
These costumes blur the line between human, creature and environment. Reflecting on what it means to transform, surrendering individuality and the loss of being an autonomous entity as a human trying to survive as part of something far greater.
