WILDERNESS
ART COLLABORATION WITH I-RIS FOR A URBAN-SAVAGE BIKE JERSEY

“Wilderness” is a pattern designed for a bike jersey born together with dutch brand I-RIS: I draw it accordingly and in harmony to the season theme whilst Iris put her experiences, knowledges and production skills and the magic happened!

Northern forest animals playing among trees, giant flowers eyes of wild and mysterious creatures.
And again, an amazon riding a deer. Savage Forest. Why do you ride your bike into the wild? I wonder …

Anthropologist Joseph Campbell, I believe, has a possible answer:

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
