Parliament Square
A circular stone path and fractured concrete world create a ritual landscape of protest, sacrifice, and political exhaustion in Parliament Square.
University of California Irvine2019
Description
A circular stone path cutting through the stage anchored Parliament Square at UC Irvine. That image gave the scenic design a sense of repetition and ritual, echoing cycles of social struggle and Kat's movement toward her final act of protest.
Concrete, fractured surfaces, and a cold gray palette stripped comfort from the room. The environment felt public and isolating at the same time, pressing political action against private despair.
