"Field Notes" Historical Ancestral Photo T-shirt

The “Field Notes” Tee captures a haunting moment in American history—a child in a cotton field, surrounded by legacy, labor, and loss. This shirt is a visual reckoning, forcing the viewer to confront what’s been buried, and empowering those who wear it to reclaim the narrative.
