PARALYSIS

PHASE THREE OF THE ‘SLEEP PARALYSIS’ COLLECTION IS “PARALYSIS.”. “PARALYSIS” EXPLORES A DARKER THEME, INTENDED TO AUTHENTICALLY REPRESENT SLEEP PARALYSIS ITSELF. THE DESIGN FEATURES DENIM WITH A DARK BLEACHED PATTERN, A SKINNY FIT, AND A TAPERED BOTTOM, SYMBOLIZING THE COMPRESSED DARKNESS AND FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. THIS SET SPECIFICALLY DEPICTS THE STRUGGLE TO RECOVER ONE'S SOUL, WITH THE SYMBOLISM OF ATTEMPTING TO WAKE FROM A NIGHTMARE. THE FIGURE IS SHOWN BEING PULLED BY THE LEGS, REFLECTED IN THE HANDS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PANTS. THE SOUL'S STRUGGLE TO RISE FROM THE GROUND ILLUMINATES THE HEAVY WEIGHT EXPERIENCED DURING SLEEP PARALYSIS.
