Written by Cassell Ferere
An all-around and truly ethical brand, Pangaia, has released some cool new t-shirts in collaboration with skateboarder and self-taught skate deck designer and sculptor, Haroshi. Known for his wood art, which dabble in the surrealism of everyday objects and recognizable forms.
Displaying 4 unique sculptures created by Haroshi in his signature style; using salvaged skateboard decks, layered together and sculpted into whatever his mind can think of. Usually creating and the colorfully banded form resembles a part of life. Each sculpture is designed with a broken piece of skate deck in the center as in creating a soul for the finished piece, inspired by the 12th-century sculptor, Unkei who would put a crystal ball inside each Buddhist sculpture.
