A jagged, irregular hole pierces through a textured grey wooden surface, revealing a dark teal background behind it. The rough, splintered edges of the light tan wood contrast with the smooth, shadowed depths of the opening. Thin, delicate shadows of spindly branches are cast across the dark interior space within the circular void.

Gilded Imprint

A single fingertip scrapes through silt to brush against a tarnished mirror, unearthing shimmering copper filaments woven deep within the glass. Beneath this sudden cobalt fracture of light, eyes emerge from the sediment like fossilized imprints in shale, watching with an unfamiliar intensity. This gaze suggests that identity is not a static object found under layers, but a continuous carving of presence through the act of looking. As the dust motes settle upon the workbench, the wood feels less like a foundation and more like a slow, unfolding event.
