Each pin is one of a kind — the exact colours and stitching vary. Proceeds support the founding of the non-profit.

Story

"I care" pins are individual, one-of-a-kind pins made from discarded parachute and racing sail — the same material Varvara uses to create the ongoing documentary artwork "Layers of Freedom," which tracks and builds a visual archive of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

The proceeds from these pins are building the foundation for a non-profit focused on the sustainability of our human existence on this planet — and recognize the early members of that non-profit, and everyone who cares what we do with planet Earth.
