Etched Lineage

Rough wood shavings curl under frantic fingertips to reveal names carved deep within the grain. These etchings do not rest upon the surface; instead, they bleed through the fibers as if the timber grew around each identity. As the broker traces these lines, the boundary between the person and their medium dissolves into a single, breathing anatomy. What was once an attempt to record life has become a quiet integration of being into the very wood itself.
