SENIOR THESIS

For my senior thesis, I conceptualized a live runway experience alongside a fashion film I production designed. The project explores the growing tension between artificial intelligence and human ingenuity. Static silver human forms are gradually dismantled by programmed KUKA robotic arms as a live fashion show unfolds around them. The work positions the body as both subject and artifact within an increasingly automated world.

Silver became the visual anchor of the project and symbolized disruption, advancement, and the shifting boundary between human creation and machine intervention. The runway environment used stark architectural lines, reflective materials, exposed tracks and spotlight-driven staging to create a clinical yet performative atmosphere. The robotic arms acted as both scenic elements and performers within the space, reinforcing the tension between machinery and the human form. By combining fashion, performance, and industrial automation, the project questions the future role of human creation in a technology-driven landscape.
