Graphic Design
Each hoodie showcases a centralized tribal motif, inspired by indigenous Polynesian and African patterns. Using only black and white for dramatic contrast, the symmetrical artwork is composed of layered shapes, mirrored glyphs, and intricate tribal compositions. These motifs carry visual weight and spiritual symbolism, acting as modern-day totems of individuality, resilience, and unity.
