Restart Spiral
A meditation on incompletion

Why This Piece
A physical reminder of the center you refuse to fill. The blood-red bead at the core is the original wound. You've been orbiting it for years through 33 rebrands, never touching it, never healing it. Just circling.
The three bare nails at center are waiting for you. They have been waiting the entire time. But you must finish the spiral yourself.
Hang this in your workspace. When you feel the urge to restart, look at the empty center. Look at the life on the right side of the board—the work unseen, the audience never built, the authority never claimed. Then ask yourself: Which spiral am I living? And when am I finally going to finish?
