The Broken Mirror

Something is lost
a perfect self-image
Something may be gained
a more honest plurality

Socratic question

Which fragment tells a fact the whole image hides?

Small practice

Write one strength beside one contradiction.

Illustration direction

A sparse field of obsidian, indigo haze, emerald points, one interrupted line, and a gold threshold. The lost form recedes; the possible gain remains incomplete.
