ETUDE NO. 001 - CAPOIS-LA-MORT STAMP

Forward. Always forward.

A document of defiance.

This piece features a vintage Haitian postage stamp honoring Capois-La-Mort, one of the most legendary figures of the Haitian Revolution. Frozen mid-charge, sword raised — this image captures the moment courage became history.

Printed like a preserved artifact, the stamp carries worn edges, aged ink, and archival texture — as if pulled from a collector’s archive and placed onto fabric.

This is not decoration.
This is documentation.

Capois-La-Mort represents:

• Fearless resistance
• Unbreakable will
• The moment a nation refused to bow

A visual rooted in movement — forward, no matter the cost.

They told him to retreat.
He moved forward.

Produced in controlled quantities.
No mass production. No restocks.

You’re not wearing history.
You’re wearing defiance.
