GMK CYL Rainy Day

For many of us, the rain has a strong influence on how we think and feel. Each person can feel something profoundly different than the other; Relaxation, a clear mind, subtle sadness, dramatic nostalgia, or utter hopelessness. GMK Rainy Days is a dedication to these feelings. I wanted to design a set that not only had a theme but a strong and dramatic mood and atmosphere. My inspiration for this set comes from two main sources. The rain, of course, and brutalist/oppressive architecture and the dramatic role it plays in how we interpret and reflect. The stark presence of raw or bare material makes up the world we live in. From buildings to bridges to the streetlights that are always watching us. I have always felt like props stand out as monoliths when we find ourselves engulfed by the cool overcast air, thinking about a memory, a loved one, or the uncertainty of the future.
