Submerged beneath the earliest tides of spring, this pair was washed during a full lunar cycle coinciding with the first total lunar eclipse of 2025.
Stilled in brackish water where freshwater meets sea, the jeans were filled with shell, stone, and sand—left to wear quietly with the tides.

Observations
Faint tidal bleeds at seams.
Soft clouding along upper thighs.
A mineral-washed blue softened by eclipse light and moon-pulled current.
Salt-set fades where denim met tension.
Lunar Context
The Budding Moon signaled seasonal reawakening.
Its eclipse—visible in full over the Eastern Seaboard—cast a blood-red hue across the Atlantic, extending the tides and deepening the SeaWash.
This pair carries that eclipse in the weave.
