"Bound to No Tide" Graphic Tee
"The ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time."
— H.P. Lovecraft
This isn’t just a shirt—it’s a reckoning.
Inspired by the legendary Te Wheke-a-Muturangi of Māori lore—a colossal octopus whose tentacles mapped the Pacific—this design carries the ink of ancestry and autonomy. The facial markings, drawn from tā moko tradition, honor the warrior’s identity and spirit. Each line is a silent chant: where you come from matters—but where you're going, you command.
Gripping both the trident of force and the ship’s wheel of control, this creature doesn’t follow currents. It shapes them.
Bound to no tide. Obey no currents.
This is for those who navigate without masters, steer without fear, and never ask permission from the sea—or anyone else.
