For me, cosplay isn't about pretending; it's about magnifying. It's about pulling bits of your own persona into view by analyzing bits of personal nostalgia from public mythologies, and adding a little bit back to the original. Stories are not static, and they evolve with you.
By the taking the time to create and interact in fantasy worlds, you can actually gain insight into real life. You may even start to realize your true nature by confronting the elements you discover within the characters you choose to portray. This is pure visual object language in action.
If we can help solidify the imaginary itself, imagine what else we could do...
Create, respect and rock on.
