"chasm" this piece has a lot of my emotions in it. In the center of its chest is a broken amethyst crystal, symbolizing the want to be sober. The amethyst being broken symbolizing the struggle in maintaining sobriety. Standing in the darkness with a rage against breaking discipline, the struggle to not give in. It screams at the night and the hope is like a beacon in the night streaming from its eyes.
