DESIGNATION: WANE

PRIMARY MATERIAL: GAUZE

MANIFESTATION: IRON-ON PATCH

CONSTRUCTION: MINIMAL

STATUS: STILL PRESENT

Wane forms when someone begins to feel themselves disappearing. Not suddenly, but slowly, layer by layer, the way old cloth frays in silence.

It wraps itself in fading bandages not to hide, but because its shape is constantly eroding. Every wrap is another memory, another achievement, another part of the self that feels like it’s slipping away.

Its eyes stay narrow and watchful, always scanning for proof that it still matters.
When ignored, the bandages tighten. When forgotten, they crack.

But when the body moves, really moves, the layers loosen. Not for display, not for approval, but through effort, strain, repetition. Through sport. Through the body being tested, placed under pressure, and responding.

In motion, Wane remembers weight, breath, resistance. The suffocating wraps slacken as if reminded that relevance is not something given by others… but something rekindled from within.
