Material Artifact
Lavender polyester-blend polo shirt with a chest pocket, 12-inch zipper, and shoulder flap detail. The “Neighborhood Acknowledgement” design hypothesis is printed on the back of the shirt. Cut, sewn, and printed in Los Angeles.
Design Hypothesis
The visual offers a counterpoint to the neighborhood watch sign by stating that “ALL OF THE YOUNGS EXPERIENCES AND EXPRESSIONS ARE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN INTERACTION.” While a traditional neighborhood watch may look on with fear, the artist creates the absence of it through acknowledgement - this role is embraced with ‘Artist’ being printed above the front chest pocket.
