O. began with a single T-shirt.
In 2019, I made a T-shirt from one of my own drawings—not to sell, but to wear myself. It was a birthday gift to me. A drawing I had never shared publicly had found a different surface.
What surprised me wasn’t the garment itself. It was the feeling of wearing something that couldn’t be found anywhere else.
That moment stayed with me.
As a visual artist, my work has always started with research, sketchbooks, and original drawings. Every exhibition begins with an idea, and every artwork carries a story long before it reaches a wall.
O. continues that same practice through another medium.
Each collection begins the way an exhibition begins—with a concept. Every design starts as an original artwork, then becomes a carefully crafted garment designed to be lived with.
For the first collection, I returned to artists whose work outlived hardship. Their stories became the starting point for drawings that explore resilience, memory, and the quiet ways art remains.
O. is not about printing images on clothing.
It is about creating original works of art, designed to be worn.
