Triple-Major is the curator of Project White T-Shirt. The company aims to introduce change into forms of popular culture by fostering creative projects and representing other artists who share their appreciation for alternative and progressive possibilities. Pondering what a t-shirt might have looked like in Confucius's time, Triple-Major created a "Confu-shirt" or "A Confusing T-Shirt for Confucius." The t-shirt intersects traditional Chinese sleeves with a modern material and a forward design concept: the t-shirt can be worn in multiple "confusing" ways, with snap buttons that alter the garment's form. By unzipping the sleeves, they can be snapped to the back as wings and simulate the shape of a t-shirt. It can also be worn as a cape. An interior pocket located in the sleeve is sized to fit a copy of the Confucius Analects, which comes with the garment for those who feel compelled to consult the wisdom of Ancient China when wearing the Confu-shirt.
