"Pangladius" — Framed Original Illustration

Pangladius was reportedly found preserved in salt beneath a broken aquarium at the edge of a flooded train station.
No one remembers what it was supposed to be.
Fish? Weapon? Prayer?
Its bones echoed like bells when shaken.
Its mouth opened only during storms.

Drawn with graphite on hand-aged textured paper, Pangladius represents that strange in-between — between water and air, instinct and design.
