Garden and Water

This tee takes inspiration from a fictional tattoo artist and two ancient cuneiform signs: water and garden. Developed in ancient Mesopotamia and later used across cultures, including the Assyrians, cuneiform carried words and ideas through marks pressed into clay. Here, the two signs are placed separately at the sleeve and hem, rather than joined as a single motif.
