For All My Sons, I designed a scenic environment that captures the idealized “American Dream,” with a beautiful home and spacious backyard reflecting Joe Keller’s vision of success and stability. This warm, inviting setting contrasts sharply with the darker themes that emerge as the story unfolds, creating a visual tension between appearance and reality. By emphasizing the idyllic aspects of the Keller family’s home, the design deepens the impact of the secrets that unravel, highlighting the emotional and moral cost of Keller’s choices.
