Wait, isn't cutting up a vintage shirt just destroying it? Those old tees are cool because they're the real thing. Turning them into a quilt feels like you're making a souvenir of a souvenir. It's just cloth now, the story's kinda gone.

Wait, a curator found it in just hours? That's wild to me. Back when you had to print stuff, you'd be lucky to get a mumbled "cool" after a week. The idea that someone important can just find your work while scrolling and actually talk to you about it that same night is a different world.
