Fate is indeed as cruel and as cold as they’ve been told to be. Alas no matter how warm and how vibrant the fragile red strings seem to glow, there shall come a time when the cold silver blades handled by wrinkled and aged hands will cut them loose and limp.

This particular piece is inspired by the idea of femininity. I personally believe the idea of our own femininity to be something of our very own myths or our very own design.
