Teresita De La Torre has been wearing the same plaid button-down shirt for the last 140 days.

The shirt already had holes it when De La Torre, 25, found it laying on top of a bush deep in the California desert. She’s been wearing the shirt every day in and around Orange County as part of what she calls a “durational performance art piece.”

De La Torre is a multimedia artist living in a county with a conservative Republican majority and is wearing the shirt to start conversations about who it may have belonged to.

Fusion spoke to De La Torre about the project she’s currently calling “Todos los dias,” or “Every Day.”
