Inspiration:
My outfit was inspired by my Japanese and Hawaiian heritage, as well as the elegance of stained glass windows and the vibrant beauty of peacocks. The designs of the fans draws from the delicate cherry blossoms that bloom throughout Japan. In Hawaiian culture, the sea--kai--is deeply valued, and I incorporated this significance through a stained glass mural of the sea. This element is also influenced by The Great Wave off Kanagawa, the iconic art piece by Katsushika Hokusai. I believe that connecting with your heritage is deeply meaningful, and I'm grateful that this contest allowed me to express and celebrate my cultural roots through art and design.
