Trippy Flowers by Itzy P.
-Contest Winner-
Trippy Flowers, submitted by Itzy Pagza, was selected to be the inspiration behind the mvmnt.’s special members tee for PTWCO Pt. II.
“The inspiration behind this design comes from my grandmother. I know that she loves flowers, but I also remember she used to draw eyes when I was younger. When I would ask why eyes were the constant theme of her artwork she said because the eyes are the window to the soul.”
Trippy Flowers is now available for purchase at redeauxclothing.com
