      Note

      "This Message Has No Content / The Fall by Stephen Cain and Jesse Graham is a letterpress object released on July 6 2024. While Stephen Cain's words echo the grit of our urban shuffle, Jesse Graham's work draws on the age-old theme of memento mori. Combined, incorporate the concept of mortality and the ephemerality of the human body."
