Frankenstein

Concept Design 
Written by Nick Dear






The  Poached Creature?



The idea of the creature being like a resurrected egg really resonated with me.


In my exploration of this narrative became the question of the egg or the chicken or the egg...?

I didn't want to just make them into cliché versions of a scientist and his invention.

I was keen on delving into the growth and initial sensory experiences of the Creature. I aim to learn with the audience through the complexities of these concepts.
 I found it fascinating to explore themes of unchecked power and misplaced trust within the audience, using subtle textual cues to delve into the complex emotions of Frankenstein and the Creature.

A symbol of both confinement and potential growth for both Frankenstein and his creation.

What evokes the tight condensed feeling from a cage?
