Hybrids are everywhere in nature. From lichens, part fungus and part algae, to siphonophores, colonies of individuals that function as one, hybridity is not an exception but a driving force of evolution. It enables adaptability, cooperation, and the emergence of new forms of life.
Each hat is a unique, wearable artwork, crafted individually on a home embroidery machine in NYC by Tin Nguyen. The process allows for the use of many colors, making every hat unique.
The embroidery explores the complex lives of plants and other life forms, drawing inspiration from themes of plant intelligence, symbiosis, hybridity, and evolution.
