Martyr

Ribs encircle the arm, while garnet stones lie deep into the marrow of the spine, as coagulated blood.

The chest cavity is the body's final relic. It contracts, curling inward, armors the body, an embrace that never betrays. As flesh fades and organs weather away, only the spine endures.

This piece is a meditation on the coexistence of fragility and resilience. Here, guarding the wearer, a silent promise woven in form.
