The set I designed for Straw in the Wind was multifunctional, and could seamlessly transition between two distinct environments: the robot’s house and the robot’s bar. 

I was attempting to create a sense of a space that evoked a playful whimsy while having an overarching mechanical quality. I wanted to arrive at a fairy-tail aesthetic, while maintaining (in practical terms) fluidity for scene changes.
​
I took inspiration from Miyazaki's Howl’s Moving Castle. The set incorporated intricate, layered textures and dynamic, movable elements, enhancing the story’s fantastical atmosphere. This modular design allowed for quick transformations, ensuring a visually engaging experience without disrupting the performance’s rhythm.
