I feel like a thread. I’m part of an article of clothing that everyone else is apart of. We are the main material. We’re not the logo, the zipper, the pocket, we’re just the thread. The logo, the zipper, the pocket, it gets noticed. No one remembers their article of clothing by the threads or material its made of, people remember, “Its the jacket with the pocket,” “Its the ‘stussy’ shirt,” “Its the jacket with the zipper that… blah blah blah.” If I am noticed, I am the loose thread, the misplaced thread, just the thread that someone pulls, rips, cuts out, that doesn’t make difference if its there or not. I want to be the zipper, the pocket, the logo. Just know I’m there…
