Cracked Runes and Bats

Description

A rugged, blackwork composition featuring cracked-skin texture with bold runic-style letters R and M, as if chiseled into stone. Silhouetted bats glide across the background, adding a nocturnal, gothic touch. Geometric knotwork lines suggest Norse-inspired motifs and continuity. The interplay of negative space and shading gives movement around the elbow, reinforcing depth and texture. Bats often symbolize transition and intuition, while runes and knotwork convey heritage, protection, and personal identity.
