A surreal, chaotic collage depicting a human spine made of bone and mechanical parts, surrounded by fragmented limbs, eyes, and torn paper on a cracked concrete background.

A surreal, hand-cut collage-style image depicting the concept of survival and resilience. At the center is an anatomical human spine, raw and exposed, acting as the vertical structure of the composition. The spine is fragmented and repaired with mechanical parts—rusted gears, wires, bolts, and torn metal plating—symbolizing strength rebuilt through adversity. Layered into the spine and extending from it are overlapping textures: torn paper, faded newspaper clippings, cracked concrete, old fabric, and burned edges. Cat eyes—intense, alert, and luminous—peer out from various sections of the collage like symbols of intuition and watchfulness. They may float freely or be embedded into mechanical or organic forms. Surrounding the central spine are surreal fragments of human limbs, animal bones, broken machines, botanical elements like tangled roots or dried vines, and symbolic imagery such as bandages, wings, and ancient markings. The entire composition should feel chaotic yet deliberate—every piece looks pasted or sewn together imperfectly, as if holding on through sheer will. The color palette should lean into earthy tones, rust, ash, sepia, and muted reds, with metallic accents. The overall mood is raw, emotional, and powerful—this is not a polished machine, but a living relic of survival, held together by history, damage, and fierce inner strength.
