Petrified Strata
Sharp ceramic edges bite into your palm, leaving a thin bead of red against the pale clay. As you press these fragments together, they form a fossilized imprint in limestone that refuses to settle into a recognizable face. This stubborn resistance suggests an identity built from revolving silt rings and tectonic friction rather than steady progress. Holding this jagged history brings a quiet clarity: you are not a single thread, but an accumulation of heavy, calcified layers pressing eternally against one another.
