Not everything that breaks is a loss. Some fractures are thresholds — the kind that split illusion from awareness. The front carries the quiet thesis: normalcy was never sacred, only familiar. Hands interlocked in tension, not unity. A circle that looks whole until you realize it’s held together by inherited stories and borrowed identities.
Turn it over and the mask finally slips. A divided skull — half shadow, half bone — caught mid-transformation. The serpent rises like memory from the spine, not as an enemy, but as a witness. Above it all, symbols stack like layers of consciousness peeling back: the watcher behind the eyes, the geometry behind the self. The kind of imagery that doesn’t ask for comfort — only honesty.
This piece doesn’t mourn the fall of the ego. It honors the moment you realize the voice in your head isn’t the author of your soul. The shedding is messy. Uneven. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes brutal. But necessary for anything real to grow in its place.
