Etched Intentions

Fine grit falls away under a fingertip, revealing microscopic cracks spreading across the silvered surface like shale preserving an ancient imprint. Where a central figure’s hand once rested, an eroded marble texture now occupies the void, leaving behind nothing but a hollowed-out space. This sudden erasure suggests that to hold onto one image is to systematically discard another. The remaining landscape settles into a quiet stillness, no longer a window into the past but a sculpted object resting heavily in the palm.
