"The Good Fight" Bandana

In reflecting on the "Outlaw" theme of the collection, Gus' thoughts immediately turned to the current cultural and political climate in their home country, Brazil. In recent years, Brazil has experienced what many in the country view as nothing short of an economic, political, social, and environmental crisis. Intolerance, income inequality, and distrust of the government are on the rise as tensions in the country have seemingly never been higher. In dark times like these, Gus believes that it takes an brave, independent person to simply be honest, trustworthy, and charitable.

In these times, the true Outlaws are those rare few who still attempt to better themselves, better others, and contribute to the world in a positive way. In "The Good Fight," Gus interprets the inherent danger, amidst the current Brazilian climate, of lending a hand to your neighbor. They show that the real Outlaws are those that can reach out, in the face of dangerous consequences, to create a more peaceful and understanding world.
