These bandanas consist of illustrative linework, done in black ink, composed within a square. The illustrations depict sentimental objects and ephemera that root from significant memories shared with chosen family members. A double-ended candle is consistent throughout all four sides of the composition; creating a sense of grounded imagery for these objects to surround. The choice to use this symbol stems from a yearning to add additional meaning to its metaphor; a balance of positive association with the well-known negative. In the center of the bandana there is a circle of leaves and debris that represents a ‘queer-ring of friendship’, from a moment we wish we could freeze in time. Other objects include charms, a crab eye, lobster claw, “Algiz” (protection rune) bead, incense tray with a burning stick, evil eye amulet, seeds, house keys, amethyst crystal, lucky rabbit foot, tooth, shells, four leaf clover coin, ‘the couch’ rock from Point Pleasant Park, moo crew patch (by A.E.), dragon fly wing found in a river in 2019, pom-pom covered stick, a stick with a blown up wine bag attatched to it, cow bell, may fly, stump, cloves, spell bottle, as well as the numbers “22” and “33”. The fabric these are printed with are 100% cotton (a combination of unbleached, mercerized, and muslin) that has been dyed through both chemical and natural dye processes.

Each bandana within this series is sewn together with red thread (Red String of Fate Theory); further symbolizing the interconnectedness that exists within this family of queer platonic soulmates.
