A large, jagged hole breaks through a textured gray stone surface, revealing a deep circular tunnel that recedes into darkness. Glowing orange light radiates from the center of the void, casting warmth against the rough, granular interior walls and scattered debris. The composition centers on the contrast between the cool, matte exterior and the bright, fiery depths of the pit.

Limestone Gaze

Grit from fine limestone clings to fingernails as they brush away layers of calcified sediment. Beneath this heavy debris, a carved smile emerges against the surrounding decay, defying the expected gravity of ruin. This subtle gesture carries no weight of permanent loss; instead, it reveals how every touch alters what is found. The surface becomes a living script where new shapes rise from the friction between the hand and the ancient stone.
