Amber Echoes

Within the porcelain’s curve, an amber wasp nest hangs preserved, its cells spiraling from a dark center. Tracing the dried mud with a fingertip yields a faint snap; acknowledging accumulated layers feels more immediate than observing form. Cobalt staining bleeds along inner walls—resin seeping into cracks reveals subtle coloration, hinting at ongoing exchange. Each cell seems to contain both the echo of what was and the potential for something else entirely.
