The Echo of Saltwater

Eliot's art is as fleeting as the tide, sand sculptures born in solitude, destined to be swept away by waves. He prefers it that way. If his art could vanish without a trace, so could he.

For years, he's perfected the act of disappearing, leaving no footprints, no lingering marks. His creations, fragile, ephemeral, and untouchable, are a quiet reflection of the walls he's built to keep the world at bay. But then Luca steps into his life.

A faded photographer, Luca stumbles upon Eliot's hidden world and refuses to look away.

With an art festival looming, Luca dares Eliot to let his work, and himself, be seen. But for Eliot, sharing his art means unearthing the parts of himself he's spent years burying beneath the tide. As Luca's persistence wears down the walls, Eliot must face a question that's haunted him: is disappearing really the same as being free?
