Inside the book

The photographs show the cover, the arena in motion, and a detail from the book.

Description

Cowgirl Up Rodeo unfolds into a three-dimensional arena inspired by the excitement and traditions of women's rodeo. Rather than focusing on a single event, the book invites readers to move through the arena, discovering competitors, spectators, and the quieter moments that surround the competition. The layered structures create a sense of place, allowing viewers to experience the rodeo from within rather than from the grandstands.
