'La Borboleta' - Alessandra Moutinho - outfit

Final piece duration: ~10 hours

'La Borboleta' is my Final Major Project of my third-year university course. Drawing influences on the narrative storytelling of games like Uncharted and The Last Of Us, this story centres around the rise of the economic and ultramodern aspects of Rio De Janeiro in the year 2040. With a territorial battle raging between the expanding city limits and the surrounding dense favelas - home to those driven out of the city - the story follows a young boy (Mateus) on a journey of ascension and coming-of-age as he finds those responsible for the death of his father and finds new family along the way.

Alessandra is an ex-police officer, hiding from her past life amongst the rich and gluttonous in Rio Nova. As she encounters Mateus and Barney, her tough exterior shell is broken down as we find a caring and powerful woman who realises she must take a stand with the La Revolta rebellion group to liberate the original inhabitants of Rio De Janeiro and take back the city that belongs to them from the oppression of the rich western capitalists.
