"To these the past hath its phantoms,
More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"
- Isabella Banks

I am a broken piece of art,
A colourful bas-relief shattered into thousands of shards.
My story lies in each curve and crack,
In the chromatism, and in my age.
I am a mosaic sculpture,
Put back together with golden-glue,
And I am who I am,
A masterpiece no matter my form.
