Office workers talk about the commute as an ordeal: the train, the traffic, the hour each way. Remote workers stay quiet, because theirs is one short corridor and a door that sticks. This work from home sweatshirt tells the truth about that trip, and then celebrates it anyway.
The artwork is laid out like the summary screen after a long run. One thick ring sits closed all the way round, Today's commute rides above it, and a huge 14 fills the centre with steps set small beneath. Goal crushed lands underneath in heavy condensed type. Two flat spot inks and one ring. There is no watch, no app and nothing borrowed from anyone's screen.
Made for the long-sleeve months, when the corridor is cold and the desk at the end of it is warm.
It goes to the coworker who describes the walk to the desk as their morning cardio, the partner who works from the box room at the top of the stairs, or the friend who has not seen a rush hour in three years. Bought for yourself first, then for whoever laughed at it.
Door to desk in under a minute.
