goddess of mystery

Goddess of Mystery is the lead singer of the all-girl goddess band. Influenced by Persephone, the Greek goddess associated with transformation, duality, and the Underworld, she represents mystery, rebellion, and feminine power. Hidden behind a masquerade mask, the character combines theatrical punk styling with symbolic elements inspired by pop, punk, and rock culture.

process & development

sketch development

Initial sketches and developmental drawings were used to explore the identity, costume design, and symbolism of the wearable art piece and the character's stage presence. Through experimentation with masks, dramatic silhouettes, layered accessories, and performance-inspired styling, the design gradually evolved into a stronger, theatrical, punk-influenced aesthetic.

Wearable art development

The wearable art piece was developed through layering fabrics, embellishments, accessories, and symbolic details inspired by Persephone and punk culture. Corsetry, sheer materials, chains, studs, and metallic elements were combined to create a dramatic stage-inspired costume that balanced mystery, femininity, and rebellion.

Installation & Presentation

The final wearable art piece, displayed alongside large-scale painted goddess works, creates an immersive band-like environment. The presentation combined fashion, painting, sound and theatrical styling to reinforce themes of empowerment, performance, mystery, and transformation.
