The Soul Trapped Inside

Name: Thorne Vellum
Soul Description:
Thorne Vellum is a spirit of shifting thresholds, born where endings blur into beginnings and permanence is a myth. They move like a flicker in peripheral vision, always half-there, half-gone, whispering truths that only make sense in twilight. Their energy is both mischievous and melancholic, a trickster with a poet’s heart who delights in the beauty of impermanence.

Design Type

Type: Half-Life
This shirt doesn’t fade — it dissolves with intention, like time caught mid-exhale. Born from the concept of half-life and steeped in the quiet drama of chemical decay, it’s wearable entropy with a soft edge. It doesn’t scream for attention — it waits for you to notice it’s already halfway gone.

Pattern Notes:
Its gradient doesn’t climb or fall — it erodes. The black swallows the light like a memory that’s been overexposed, while the pale edges hum with the last breath of something once volatile. It’s not just a design — it’s a slow disappearance you can wear, stitched with the elegance of breakdown and the poetry of persistence.
