The Vision

The designs on this website are a piece of digital alchemy, born on the Sunshine Coast, BC. Every design I create is intended to be a wearable amulet. I begin with symbolic foundations—often layered 15 or more times—to ensure that when you put this on, you aren't just wearing a garment; you are wearing an intention of strength and personal sovereignty.

Original design by Nilay Carlson, crafted on the Sunshine Coast, BC. 

— Rendered without apology.

Extending the Studio: My Partners in Craft

To bring my layered digital compositions to life, I have carefully selected two global partners who specialize in All-Over Printing (AOP)—the only technology that allows my art to wrap entirely around the body or furniture without apology.

  • My Apparel & Essentials: Fulfilled via Printful, chosen for their ability to merge high-performance all-over printing with everyday durability.

  • My Bespoke & Home Collection: Fulfilled via Contrado (UK), selected for their artisan-level craftsmanship on complex textiles and furniture.

I treat these partnerships as an extension of my studio tools—selected specifically to ensure the 'amulet' you receive is exactly as I rendered it.

Product Description

The Concept

This is not just a garment; it is a wearable meditation on the power of consciousness. The design centers on the Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation, the mathematical foundation of quantum mechanics. It describes a universe not of fixed objects, but of infinite probabilities—waves of potential that exist in a state of "superposition" until they are observed.

The Philosophy of Manifestation In quantum physics, the act of observation "collapses the wave function," turning a cloud of possibilities into a single, physical reality. This piece represents that transition:

  • The Source: The gold Schrödinger equation on the roll neck represents the "Mind" or the "Observer"—the origin of intent.

  • The Frequency: The jagged black lines radiating across the chest and biceps represent the "Quantum Field" in motion.

  • The Manifestation: Using a strategic opacity taper (90% fading to 65%), the pattern visually depicts the process of manifestation—where the "ghostly" potential at the hem solidifies into the sharp, defined reality at the chest.

Technical Details

  • Engineered Silhouette: "Zonal" pattern placement highlights the bicep and torso, creating an athletic, structured frame.

  • Ghost-Print Aesthetic: 100% black stacked ink layers on a custom Storm Grey (#474F57) base for deep, three-dimensional contrast.

  • Luxury Accents: Minimalist Gold Ψ (Psi) symbol—the Greek letter representing the Wave Function itself.

  • Fabric: A premium, heavy-weight Jersey.

  • Composition: Approximately 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane.

  • Properties: * 4-Way Stretch: This is crucial for your design. The elastane allows the shirt to hug the body (the "Slim Fit") without distorting your frequency lines.

    • Sublimation Printing: The ink is bonded directly into the fibers. This means your #474f57 grey and the black lines won't peel, crack, or fade over time.

    • Breathability: Even though it’s form-fitting, the knit is designed to be moisture-wicking and comfortable for all-day wear.


Suggested Care Instructions (For your site or label)

To preserve the "Manifest" gold and the deep obsidian lines:

  • Machine wash cold (30°C) on a delicate cycle.

  • Do not tumble dry. Hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the jersey stretch.

  • Iron on low heat, inside out, avoiding direct contact with the gold neck print.

From 2XS to 2XL all sizes are available on Contrado.
