"Lefei" is a very large, intimidating, and aggressive figure that definitely comes from another planet. Although one knows it's a costume in which a human must be inside, it's both repulsive and respected. The person inside is completely distorted and unimportant. However, this project wasn't just about body distortion. The costume is made entirely from recycled materials, such as cardboard or old stockings. Its backstory is the product of creative and free storytelling about extraterrestrial beings and crashed spaceships.
By creating a VR environment using the Open Brush software, I crafted a virtual habitat for my fictional character. In doing so, I opted for an enchanted contrast with numerous organic shapes. This world is intended to serve as both a counterpoint to the geometric elements of my costume and establish a connection. The world borrows from "Lefei" in terms of form and appears peaceful, but in the many dark corners of the valley, dangers and malevolent figures lurk.
A project from 2022.
