2024 Thesis Exhibit -I haven’t washed my jeans in over a year.

Clothes have a unique identity with attached history, a design originally made for  function and sometimes a new comfortable approach. I like my jeans because they are a pair of jeans that have a previous owner who has given life to them and now I have given them a new life. I found these in an abandoned building and who knows where or with whom they truly belong. The design before me was meant for work, yet I wear them to go to class and hang around. It’s sturdy material that has lasted this long only for it to be used and looked over. This belongs in a museum as a piece of art, because of the way it has been crafted. It has a rich history, linking our past to our present (and beyond?).
