Jagged Refraction

Rough silt lodges beneath fingernails as the resistance of old forms gives way to sudden, uneven ruptures. Instead of molding a cohesive vessel, the hands navigate shards that catch light at skewed angles and split apart with heavy, staccato thuds. These jagged segments suggest that meaning resides not in building stability, but in how one moves through the irregular pacing of breaking things. Every motion leaves an unpredictable mark upon the hardening sediment, settling into a quiet stillness where the fractured edges finally hold their shape.
