Whole Ocean in a Cracked Cup

A weathered ceramic cup holds an entire coastal world inside it — warm sand, a lone figure dwarfed by a silhouetted palm, and turquoise surf spilling over the fractured rim onto gritty ground below. The light source sits deep inside the vessel, glowing like a trapped moon through sea haze, while the outer cup sits in near-darkness against a bruised, nebula-tinted void. It's about the vastness we carry quietly, and what leaks out when we finally crack.
