A smooth, rounded form interrupted by a raw seam of hand-carved stitches, suggesting both fracture and repair. Crafted from cherry wood and charred to a deep matte black, its organic curves and softened edges feel grounding in the hand. The shallow bowl form cradles small objects, while a single brass inlay near the rim offers a gleam of warmth and intention. The carved “XX” motif resembles stitches or mending marks—echoing ancient techniques of binding and care.
