Carved from a split tree,
this reliquary holds the story of rising.
A horse mid-leap—wild, unbridled, alive—
bears scars of turquoise tears and triumph.
She leaps toward a window of stars,
a portal carved into time.
The red ribbons swirl like breath, like blood,
like the prayers we whisper
when we’re ready to return to ourselves.
This piece is for the moment the soul remembers:
you are not broken.
You are breaking free.
