A Study in Stillness, Repetition, and the Art of Becoming

Karim for Absent Findings

In a quiet studio, where light falls patiently across unfinished sketches and philosophy texts, Karim builds his world. A student of philosophy, an artist, and a graphic designer, he moves between thought and form — where language gives way to rhythm, and the abstract becomes tactile.

We spent time with him where he works — a space shaped by silence, pattern, and the discipline of daily making. His process is meditative. Slow. Each gesture considered, each decision lived with.

Karim wears the mock neck t-shirt and uniform piping trousers from Absent Findings. Clean lines. Precise structure. Soft confidence. The pieces are designed to exist in motion and stillness alike — garments that don’t speak too loudly, but remain unmistakably present. On Karim, they become part of the studio’s rhythm: folded into his routine of reflection, sketching, redrafting.

This story is about more than clothing — it’s about the people who wear them, and the worlds they shape. Absent Findings lives quietly in these spaces — in thought, in movement, in repetition.
