I · Firenze
Illuminated Ascent
A devotional map of the mountain rendered like an illuminated initial, with the terraces named directly across the climb.
Novem Imagines
Nine hoodie studies for Cantica I.
This capsule sits beside the object index as a separate apparel study: one washed black hoodie, nine image languages, one controlled sheet of ascent.
Capsule Sheet
A nine-look apparel capsule folded into the same cantica, but kept separate from the thirty-object public index so it reads as a study in image sequence and garment scale.
Capsule Index
Nine cities, nine treatments of the climb.
The sequence moves from illuminated mapping to sketchbook looseness, using the same hoodie base as a frame for nine distinct ways of seeing Mount Purgatory.
II · Solomeo
Hill Town Study
The ascent becomes a stone settlement here, replacing diagram with stairs, walls, and inhabited routes.
III · Chicago
Diagram Mountain
A schematic version of purgatory where hazard stripes, measurement, and stagecraft push the mountain toward architecture.
IV · Düsseldorf
Bound Cairn
A cairn wrapped in wire and candlelight, treating purification as pressure, restraint, and time.
V · Rügen
Night Sea Mountain
The mountain is thrown into moonlight and black water, holding the ring of fire against a storm-dark sea.
VI · Hannover
Collage Refusal
Tickets, manifestos, stamps, and refusals turn the climb into a piece of public print culture.
VII · Milano
Section Through the Soul
An architectural section that measures the terraces as if the mountain were a technical drawing rather than a legend.
VIII · Rostov
Icon Mountain
A gold-ground icon study populated by saints and labor, flattening ascent into liturgical order.
IX · Gaeta
Notebook Ascent
The mountain is left unfinished on purpose, closer to a working drawing than a resolved proclamation.
Context
A capsule, not a replacement.
Novem Imagines expands the apparel side of Cantica I without replacing the existing three-room structure. The main collection remains the core index; this page adds a focused garment study around one silhouette.
Nine hoodie studies plus one capsule sheet.
All nine images share the same washed black base and sleeve mark.
The capsule is linked to Cantica I but presented as its own apparel sequence.
