Some designs are made to match an outfit. This one is made to start a conversation.
The Clown or the Bear Tee takes a familiar thought experiment and reframes it in a way that encourages reflection through symbolism. Featuring a lone clown standing in a misty forest beneath the question, "Would you choose the clown or the bear?", this design invites viewers to consider how instinct, uncertainty, and perceived risk influence the choices we make.
The message below the artwork reads:
"If you chose to walk the other way, then you understand why we chose the bear."
It's not about fear. It's about perspective.
Printed on a soft, comfortable unisex tee, this piece is designed for people who appreciate meaningful conversations, social awareness, and artwork that says more than it appears to at first glance.
A portion of the proceeds from every purchase helps support organizations that equip women with foundational skills in situational awareness, risk assessment, and practical self-defense to help prevent and manage violence.
Because sometimes the most powerful conversations begin with a single question.
