Weaving the histories and the traditions of various cultures into my creations is key to each creation’s personality and theme. These pieces highlight different cultural groups, using elements of their traditions and history to act as inspiration. My aim is to tell a story and to celebrate these cultures’ views on death, celebration and identity - often all elements are interconnected. Costumes are often created out of emotional spaces that societies are living in, and those emotions speak through us and our experience. Through the journey of experiencing these various costume themes and inspirations, you will see that although different we are all very much alike.
