(sand)noise* hat

each hat comes with an art print + usb (full of art & music)

it’s just noise* - make it urs.

when i say make it urs - own ur mess, live ur life fully, don't be afraid to have fun, care a lot about yourself and the people around you, & please don't be afraid to show it. everyone is worried about something, i'm worried these hats may never sell, but i pray this acts as a reminder to embrace yourself, flaws and all.

wear the noise on ur forehead!! 

[i also mean alter this hat too. pls do something that feels natural to u - sharpie, paint, patches, rips, dying it could be fun, set it on fire... whatever u like!]

-------

the story here is i was once on the phone with my dad, maybe 2022-2023,  spiralling about life and trying to get some perspective. he said something that's stuck with me ever since - "I know u wont like this but nobody lives without noise".

& although that was heartbreaking, it is a truth we all must accept sooner or later, in order to not be defeated by circumstance.

it's different for everyone but common ones are: financial position, distractions, internal monologues, external projections; all the things that happen that make it harder to make decisions and stand by them. think of how living in a big city, means never experiencing silence - externally of course, but internally as well. we are greatly affected and influenced by our perception of noise. 

i'm at a point now, where i'm passing that perspective along to my friends, as they go through their trials, and i'm grateful to be able to do that for them. 

i called my first album noise* pollution, I refer to my songs are noise pieces, I called myself a noise artist haha. it kinda became a thing. 

this the first gift shop product I ever came up. i had this idea for almost 2 yrs now. & i'm making 27 just because im 27 at the moment, and starting small seems so punk these days.
