About the Art
The eyes are one of those fascinating and mysterious body parts. I'm interested in the communicative aspect of eyes. There's an intensity in this piece that stands out to me because of the gaze and the colors. Hot/Cold color combinations are fun for me to explore, and I think that truly came across in this piece.

WE TAKE SUSTAINABILITY SERIOUSLY
Sustainability is important to Kicks for a Cause. We’re getting greener every step of the way, while still providing you with the quality products you deserve.
Around 85% of all textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills, making it a major contributor to environmental damage. What’s more, one in every five items produced by the fashion industry reaches landfills without being worn even once.
As Kicks for a Cause works with on-demand suppliers, we only produce items we get an order for, avoiding textile waste from overproduction.
Additionally, We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.
The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. Kicks for a Cause takes care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.
