“The Smoke That Thunders”
The first large-scale painting I’ve completed in over a decade.
Most people know me through fashion, but art has always existed quietly alongside it. Trying to be more open with the process and share more of the work that exists beyond the garments.

Constantly in a state of progress but more determined to show the process

This is the Studio Mapalo logo.
I put it on my skin as a reminder: Stop overthinking, trust the vision, and keep creating.
The brand is built on storytelling, sustainability, and identity.
Every piece is one of one.
This is just the start.
Shout out @kobemight for doing this piece for me.
