Inspiration:
I’ve been obsessed with the circus for years, attending every show that comes to town, learning to juggle, sewing my own clown costumes, and even taking flying trapeze classes at my local circus center. I just can’t get enough. When I decided to enter this competition, I knew right away that I wanted to honor the community that has welcomed and inspired me. My design is based on the classic ringmaster costume, but with a twist. I blended both masculine and feminine elements to reflect the circus’s long history of playfully bending gender norms. I thought I knew exactly what I was doing, but quickly realized this project would be much more challenging than expected. After lots of trial and error, problem-solving, and a few setbacks, I created something I’m truly proud of. To me, this piece represents the center point of my circus journey and I hope you love it as much as I do!
