LIL PUBLIC Oversize Heavyweight T-shirt Oba Yozo Red Wash “Osamu Series”

Red represents Oba Yozo false persona in order to be accepted by humanity. Behind his cheerful attitude and eccentric behavior, he hides the sadness, anxiety, and fear he feels toward living life as a human being. To survive, Yozo chooses to become someone who constantly makes others laugh. He wears the mask of a clown, pretending to be fine while showing a happiness he never truly feels. He does all of this simply to be accepted by the world and the people around him. Red becomes a space for the falsehood, emotions, and wounds he continues to hide behind his own smile.
