God's Empathy-Michelle — Cover

God's Empathy-Michelle

Michelle's skin is dusted with opalescent glitter, threaded with sculptural piercings and lucite rings that catch light like frozen tears. Against a void-black ground, each metallic ornament—curved bars, crystal florals—reads as both armour and vulnerability, a celestial cartography mapped onto human flesh. The mood is quiet devotion: beauty as an act of mercy, adornment as prayer.
