First Production Run

The inaugural release, documented as it travels. Cast in Los Angeles, carried into the field — the first pieces photographed on the jackets and canvas they were made for.

This is a living record. New plates are added as the run makes its way across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
