In the city of Surrey, a boy named Tony couldn't find common ground with his peers. He didn't like football or shooters; he preferred to create rather than destroy. He enjoyed drawing and sewing. Many people found him peculiar, but being in the minority doesn't make you insane. In 2022, Tomie began designing clothing that reflected the pain hidden within "our shadows." Videos of his clothes went viral on TikTok, and many teenagers and people who were tired of the absurd world found solace in his work and decided to support him. Now, he has become the largest clothing brand in Canada and the Northwest United States. Tommy has created something that we lack in a world of digital noise. The brand "The weight of shadow" allows us to hear ourselves in this noise.
