underworld dame (and dressing a Capricorn MC)

御仏はさびしき盆とおぼすらん

All the honored ghosts –

polite, but surely wanted

better drinking games.

– Issa

the season of all honored ghosts transitioning us into a the season of Rest (where the Ancestors reside) and divine stillness is here. that energy is returning me to my core & influencing how i style myself. as winter nears, i've found it a lot easier to hear my inner world and translate it into how i'm getting dressed.

the future has an ancient heart

i've been sketching with clothes and playing dress up before bed a lot more and this is one of those sketches. i had been itching to pair these pants my mom passed down to me with this top my dad once gifted her from ghana. this outfit is filled with odes to lineage whether that be my literal family or my younger selves or ways that humans in general have enjoyed dressing themselves for the past thousands of years.
