One-of-a-kind bleach-painted T-shirt featuring a large Cecropia moth across the back of a deep navy tee, with a small moth detail on the front chest.

The bleach lifted into warm, rose tones against the dark fabric, giving the moth a soft, nocturnal glow.

Please note: I absolutely mangled my name on the sleeve of this one. It’s not very readable, but it is very handmade. The photos show it clearly.

Each shirt is painted by hand with bleach, so the marks, tones, and textures are unique to the piece.

Thank you for supporting my work. Each shirt is made by hand, with bleach, instinct, and a little bit of moonlit chaos.

The Cecropia moth is North America’s largest native moth — but for all its size, it lives only a brief, winged chapter.

It spends most of its life hidden in a cocoon, waiting, building, transforming in silence. When it finally emerges, it doesn’t eat, doesn’t linger — it simply flies, drawn by instinct, carrying the quiet beauty of its own becoming.

This one came to me at night — deep, dark, and dusted in pale patterns like moonlight on velvet. She feels like a midnight confidant. A keeper of thresholds. A reminder that some transformations are meant to be witnessed only by the stars.

Worn on your back, she becomes a private signal: that you honor the things no one else sees. That you trust your own cycles. That you can step out of the dark carrying nothing but the truth of who you are.
