10 cases shaped by fabric that once protected bodies, announced style & marked alliances. Cotton, wool, silk, flax—carrying fields & feasts, caravans & dowries. Evolving into the glow of a modern shrine. Each a scroll of ancestral labor and aesthetic ritual.

Tigers were one of the first abstract artists. Their bodies carry glyphs that defy mimicry: asymmetrical, high-contrast, always in motion. Before pattern had theory, tigers wore it. And each case transmits a different dialect of tiger code—visual, mythic, material.

These 10 bird art iPhone cases function as surreal cartography: tracing lines from vanished species to imperial silks, woodblock prophecy to surrealist equation. Each case a species of reverie — 10 chances to molt the visible and enter the mythic.

From Plato’s ecstatic seizure to Kusama’s self-curated hallucinations, the link between madness and brilliance has never belonged to biology or metaphor alone. It belongs to society’s need to pathologize prophecy, sanctify breakdown, or canonize pain.
