Logo Development
The NOTWAKETHEDEAD symbol, an assemblage of sword, cross, and shield motifs with a central crimson enamel resembling a bloodstain, holding within it strength, vulnerability, and hope—I decided to realize it first as a piece of jewelry.
The jewelry piece was crafted from an original design sketch: first, a wax model was created, then the item was cast in metal, followed by stages of sanding, filing, and polishing. The final accent was a hand-applied burgundy-hued resin, which gave the piece the necessary depth and expressiveness.

NOTWAKETHEDEAD Shirt — the first garment element in the project. While it is currently undergoing refinement, it can later accommodate a logo or typography. You can also incorporate elements of artificial distressing, fading, or fabric aging.
