Día de los Muertos Shirt — Ponle Su Plato Memorial Tee

Some families set an extra plate on the second of November. The seat is not empty — it is kept.

The back of this shirt is a table laid for two. One plate has been eaten from. The one beside it is clean and untouched, waiting for someone who is not coming back. Behind the table a path of marigold petals leads away toward a full moon, because the scent of cempasúchil is what guides them home.

What is printed

• Back: THEY ONLY DIE WHEN / NO ONE SAYS THEIR NAME — with 2 DE NOVIEMBRE beneath
• Front: a small marigold and an empty plate, with PONLE SU PLATO

Drawn as a woodcut engraving, not a costume graphic. No sugar skulls, no novelty. It is meant to be worn by someone who actually keeps the altar.
