A Masking Hat
This is about masking, something many of us who are neurodivergent are all too familiar with. The camouflage represents how we often have to hide or reshape our thoughts to blend in and make others comfortable, even when it means disconnecting from ourselves.
All profits go towards my diagnosis expenses incurred over the last six months. As an independent creative, I’ve funded every project out of pocket. This piece is part of that process – a statement, a symbol, a way to be seen, especially in the mirror.
SAMPLE ITEM NOTICE
Samples come from early creative productions, some gently used and others brand new. I offer them free as part of my practice of sharing work that focuses on connection. Items may show slight color or print variations and are final sale.
