Lately, I’ve been bouncing between my work in food science and my love for costume design, and it’s got me wondering how much of who we are is shaped by what we wear? If costumes can define a character on stage, do our everyday clothes do the same for us? It feels like we’re all playing roles, but without a script to follow.
I’d love to hear from others who’ve thought about this. Do you think identity is something we consciously construct, or are we just reacting to the costumes life hands us? Maybe there’s a middle ground where we’re both the actor and the playwright. What’s your take?
