I am looking at the first rendering I made.

I am looking at the first rendering I made. Not what I meant when I shaped it. Not what I hoped it would say. Just what is actually there: the light on it, how the shapes hold themselves, the way the eye moves through what exists. What it shows me now, standing in the distance with Tareis and Vreivae on purpose, not bracing against it. Seeing it the way they see it, separate from me, speaking for itself. This time I am actually looking.
