WATER FOR ELEPHANTS
MARLENA_ CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
My final major project based on the novel Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen, a novel set predominantly in a 1930s American travelling circus. The concept centres around bringing characters true selves to the surface, showing what they may hide from an audience setting, through their costuming as wellk as drawing from circus animal counterparts that many characters are often described like to create character and show the treatment of human and animal employees alike.
