DescriptionSilk flowers, beads, and rhinestones adorn a fabric hoodie in an abundant display of color and texture. The hoodie, size men’s XL, is entirely obscured by iridescent green sparkles and artificial leaves attached around its edges. Silk roses, lilies, chrysanthemums, daisies, and other flowers cover the body, transitioning from deep red at its left wrist to purple at its right, with black around the waist and orange across the head. Delicate orange monarch butterflies perch around the garment as a tiger stalks forward, emerging from the vegetation over the chest towards a pool of green rhinestones across the stomach. With its arms spread outward, the hoodie resembles a figure poised to surrender, embrace, or ascend.On View
