A hannya mask wreathed in chrysanthemums

A koi swimming upstream through crashing waves, maple leaves floating on the water

clock & tattoo

A sprig of olive branch wrapping once around itself, three small leaves drifting off the end

A mandala blooming outward from a lotus at its centre, each ring of petals finer than the last

A paper plane whose dotted flight path loops once and ends in a small heart

A woman's profile wearing a wolf-head headdress, a jewelled crescent moon on her brow

A dandelion clock with its seeds blowing away and turning into small birds, in soft yellow and sky blue

An old pocket watch stopped at 4:17, its glass cracked, a single rose lying across the face

A panther's head tearing through the skin, mouth open, claws gripping the edges

Bold, flowing black shapes with sharp curved points that cap the shoulder and follow the muscle

A tiny house inside a teacup, smoke curling from its chimney and a moon overhead, drawn like an old storybook etching

The words "still here" in loose handwritten script, with a small semicolon at the end
