Broken Relief

Grit from limestone powder settles deep into the creases of knuckles as fingers trace a buried relief carving. This fossilized likeness mimics a familiar face, yet its features dissolve into jagged granite shards under the touch. As light strikes an empty pedestal where symmetry once held firm, the established patterns begin to drift and fray. Every outward adjustment to the gaze only serves to distort what remains, leaving behind a quiet clarity found in the absence of the shape itself.
