Project: S2000

Let's keep it short ...


This was both a valuable lesson and learning experience. 
It's been a fun run, but there will always be time for these things later.
I'll be back when my priorities are in place and 
bring it back someday, even better the next time.

Project: Unravel

What is "Unravel?"

Unravel is an upcoming lifestyle clothing brand and project that
began February 2015.

This will begin as a personal project and learning experience.

Google defines unravel as ...



I highlighted all the key words that would be related.

"Unravel" is has a large reference to the Tokyo Ghoul show and opening theme.



The song lyrics are in Japanese. The singer narrates a lost soul who doesn't want to be forgotten. He wants to be remembered for who he used to be but he's paralyzed by the fact he has changed. 

In relation to the animation, the first line translates to:

Tell me, please tell me, what this plot is all about..
Exactly, who resides within me? 


This is connected to the main character Kaneki Ken, as he comes to realization
that he is a ghoul inside and has lost half his humanity.

My definition of "Unravel"

Essentially to me it means "to be free." To unravel means to free yourself from 
the things around you that keep you from what you potentially could be. 

Social freedom. Not letting the chains that shackle your mind hold you back.

Inspiration (So far)

"Fight Club"

"Tokyo Ghoul"

"The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope." - Frank Lloyd Wright 

"You're gonna carry that weight" - The last words of the last episode to Cowboy Bebop. A reference to The Beatles. "the weight that is at once the load of our past and also the promise and burden of unrealized hopes and aspirations for the future"
