Description: “Mono no aware” is a Japanese idiom from the Heian period. It is an awareness of the impermanence of things, a reality of all things in this world. My inspiration for this work is from a story I read about the Samurai Minamoto Yoshitsune. The Koi in this design were from a long stalled work in progress, so now the impermanence of one design is born into another.
Description: This white garment features "* I'M NOT A " above "Hot Mess" in a flowing black script. Below is " I'M A *" above "Spicy" in a similar flowing black script and "DISASTER" in a simple black font. Small black stars accent the text. This design offers a humorous self aware message.
