According to Joseph Campbell, the hero's journey is a symbol that binds two distant ideas: the spiritual quest of the ancients with the modern search for identity. Our Philos collection pays homage to philosophies, like Campbell's hero's journey, that inspire us to seek transformative experiences.Joseph Campbell identifies three primary stages of the hero’s journey:
1)⠀the “call to adventure” / the separation,
2)⠀the transformation, and
3)⠀the return.
The Hero’s Journey Tee is a reminder for each of us to answer the universe’s calls to action, dare to enter the dystopian and challenging spaces it invites us into, and finally return to a renewed world as transformed human beings. This not-so standard tee features a classic crew neck and an elongated curved hem for a unisex fit.
