I still think about when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, antique chest fire breathers, acrobats — and digital art station always clowns. Looking at the trunk feels like it was there backstage, cheap vintage trunk stuffed with costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin. When I first saw the circus clown trunk, I just stared. The red-nosed clown staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a fragment of a lost world — a carnival gone by.

Trunks aren’t just places to keep things. They’re time capsules. Before cheap mass storage appeared, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.
