A sourced Twenty X by Wrangler denim in medium sky blue, selected for its 100% cotton composition and reworked by hand as an individual Akire piece.
Across the front, six Akire beetles form a considered composition. Arranged in pairs on either side, sunset orange moves into orange, then black each shift in colour giving the recurring form a different presence against the softness of the blue denim.
The repetition is intentional, but never uniform.
Each beetle is worked bead by bead, allowing subtle variations of the hand to remain part of the piece.
At the back pocket, a single beetle in orange completes the composition a quieter continuation of the work at the front.
What began as an existing denim is given another expression through the hand: selected, observed and transformed rather than reproduced.
