Ciara Burns

Third year costume by Ciara Burns using up cycling and repurposing.Her design; 

" Is based on a future festival set 100 years from now, focused on sustainability. Inspired by bioluminescent sea life, I imagined a world where glowing plants provide light and clean air. This coral creature alongside other characters I created live alongside humans, and the costumes show themes of bioluminescence and eco-friendly living. My final design was based on coral and made from discarded tent fabric to highlight reuse and sustainable design." Ciara Burns
