Untitled(x2), starts with a framed piece of fabric, with an “I” motif. The wearer presses their face into the fabric, allowing the wrinkles and shadows of their face to show through, creating the illusion of the face. The “canvas” here is the ultimate representation of “I would prefer not to,” a true refusal of preferring not to be “I.” but in instances where, one does not want to commit to philosophical extremes, such as in the case of bartleby, who preferred not to eat and later “preferred not” to death, we too, can say: “I would prefer not to, but I choose to.” as such, one can take the frame off and hang it onto a wall, re-integrating oneself back into society. In this look, the sponge that makes up both the t-shirt and pant, stays neutral and does not wrinkle. Additionally, the t-shirt comes with detachable text plates, that allow you to interchange between “prefer to,” “not prefer to,” and “prefer not to.”
