THIS COLLECTION WAS CREATED IN PART AS A RESPONSE TO MY MOVE FROM CALIFORNIA TO NEW YORK. I LIVED IN LA FOR 14 YEARS, AND THEN SF FOR 2. I WAS BORN AT THE BEACH IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, I ONLY KNEW CALIFORNIA'S WAYS.

WHY MIGRATE? WHY NOT?

WHEN THIS COLLECTION WAS DESIGNED, A LOT OF AMERICANS WERE TALKING ABOUT LEAVING THE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF DONNY. HUMANS WERE FLEEING THEIR NATIVE LANDS BECAUSE OF WARFARE AND PERSECUTION. IT SEEMED LIKE MOVEMENT WAS HAPPENING ALL OVER.

THUS MIGRATION WAS BORN.
