Coiled Serpent and Peonies Half-Sleeve

Beskrivning

A bold blackwork half-sleeve showing a coiled snake woven through peony blooms and exposed skeletal segments. The snake conveys transformation, danger, and protection; peonies suggest beauty, honor, and prosperity; the skeletal elements emphasize mortality and contrast. Strong linework, heavy shading, and negative space create a dramatic, timeless composition suited to the upper arm and shoulder.
