A vanitas bouquet, shared by everyone who opens this page. Every real visit resets its clock; every full day nobody does, it earns one permanent scar, and enough of them and it eventually dissolves into pixels and noise. It always sits behind a haze until you touch it — hover across the canvas to wipe a patch clear and see what still holds underneath.

It doesn't decay with time. It decays with absence.

Vase of Flowers, after the Dutch manner.

Kept only by whoever tends it. Left alone, it does not wait.
