The chest print is bisected by the zip. Closed, the word is interrupted. The garment consumes the thing it names. This is intentional.
Washed black zip-through hoodie. 100% cotton fleece, garment-washed for a faded, worn-in hand. Oversized boxy fit with a dropped shoulder. Ribbed cuffs and hem.

THE MORTALITY ARCHIVE
無常, mujō. Impermanence. The observation that nothing holds: every object, every body, every garment is already in the process of leaving.
Every piece is catalogued as a specimen and numbered on release. Garments are made to wear down: prints crack, dyes fade, hems fray. Nothing here is finished, and nothing is meant to last.
