Capacity

What the season asks. What the body can hold.

Ornate layered paper ribbons, circles, pleats and arcs gather around an open center on a solid black field, expressing holiday abundance and capacity.

Founder’s note

Capacity is part of the invitation.

The holidays can carry celebration, memory, food, travel, tenderness, grief, expectation, and work—all at once. This edition makes room to notice what you are carrying and what your body is asking for.
