Description: It was painful reliving those moments that scarred me so deeply etching their ghosts back into the light. I count each one, every jagged pain that dragged me to the brink, teetering on oblivion. Why I never left? That's the question that haunts me still, a relentless echo in the quiet hours. But now, I know it was all worth it. This piece stands as a trophy for those who claw their way to post-traumatic growth, emerging forged and fierce from the wreckage.
Two days to live or lived in just two days—let your state of be the judge of that brutal math. The scratch marks claw across the surface, raw symbols of the battles no one witnessed, the savage fights waged deep in the labyrinth of my mind. The cardboard woven into this work. Recycled from a certain drink I favour, its familiar husk reborn. I peeled each layer myself, stacking them meticulously, a ritual of reclamation where fragments of the ordinary become armour for the soul.
