Crafted from a classic LA Dodgers cap, this unique piece is more than just an accessory—it's a statement emotion. "Lachrymose" delicately embroidered across the front serves as a poignant reminder of the wearer's journey through grief. The choice to wear one's sorrow proudly, woven into the fabric of this cap, is a declaration of vulnerability and resilience. Indicating how grief is a valid and immoveable part of one’s own identity. This piece serves as a symbol of embracing and expressing one's emotions, transforming a simple accessory into a mediation on the commonplace nature of sorrow.
