I liked that idea of suffering as a passage rather than a final destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wanted the image to feel dark without making darkness the conclusion. The subject is religious, but the visual language comes from record art, underground shirts, and the kind of heavy graphics that make you look twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shirt itself is a substantial vintage-washed cotton tee with hand-finished distressing.
