Yellow-gold color pencil traces the body in transformation—skin shedding, tissue splitting where the old form no longer fits. This explores the body during the rupture of leaving, begins to crack and peel away. The marks capture that raw in-between state, neither fully contained by what was taught nor yet emerged into what comes next. This is the body mid-metamorphosis, documenting the necessary work of breaking out of a shell that was never meant to hold you.
