The Monument Ribbed Collar Tee draws inspiration from ancient tribal structures, music instruments and music. The graphic is a collage of various tribal structure archives of instruments and figures which were then pieced together to form the monument-like sttructure on the front.
Tribal Musical Instruments

Many musical instruments were believed to have originated from places such as Egypt and Sumer from about 3000 B.C. Thereafter, through generations of musicians, these instruments were then passed on to travellers who journeyed across the globe. As such, many of these musical instruments penetrated very obscured places on the earth.
An example would be that of the Arched Harp which exists in many different variations today due to the different influences. Usually, the Arched Harp comes with an extended neck that bends like an arch and it is considered to be one of the most principle forms of harp. This form is often played in a vertical position, plucked with both hands, often by a musician who is kneeling.
The Arched Harp eventually found its way into Africa where it is still often played by the various tribes scattered around the country (the harp is known as ennanya in Uganda). The harp then travelled southwards to Southeast Asia where it is known as the Burmese Harp, saung gauk.
Over the years, many of these instruments begin to lose popularity as many of them are often associated with traditions that are dying.
