The most significant challenge I faced while designing and self-producing these denim jeans occurred on November 4, when my grandfather passed away. During this time, I was still committed to completing the project within a limited timeframe. Balancing production deadlines while preparing for his funeral placed me under immense emotional strain.
Despite the grief, I continued to push forward, setting strict deadlines due to the time I would be away. The process became not only a technical challenge, but a deeply personal one testing me mentally, physically, and emotionally. Each pair of jeans represents the time, dedication, and energy I poured into this project during a period of profound loss.
