Entering the arena of competition as an athlete or warrior, there is much that is out of their control. They risk their body, mind and spirit to elicit a victory at the end of designated play. For some, rituals have become an important way to subside the anxiety from the chaos they are about to enter.
This shirt, Control, highlights those still moments the warrior has to himself. Those moments where he organizes his own methods so he can draw them out instantaneously like a sword from a sheath in the thick of battle, where there is zero time for thought. This is the last moment where life seems to be 'in order'.

Each shirt is a work of art utilizing the fabric as a canvas. On the reverse side of the shirt, the artist's signature is placed into a motif inspired by his first professional tennis racquet, the Wilson Ultra 2. This practice echoes the 1980’s trend where designers added their name to apparel as a mark of high design and quality.
