At a sustainable festival nestled in the jungle of Costa Rica, art comes alive in harmony with nature. This festival is my favorite creative playground, where I set up my sustainable wearable art store each year. I stage and dress performers on the main stages, craft projection mapping designs for my favorite musicians, and create scavenger hunts that unfold throughout the week. These immersive experiences invite participants to connect more deeply with the natural surroundings, offering moments of stillness amidst the vibrant energy of the festival.
