Life is a hammer and a forge...

Life's a forge! Yes, and hammer and anvil, too! You'll be roasted, smelted, and pounded, and you'll scarce know what's happening to you. But stand boldly to it! Metal's worthless till it's shaped and tempered! More labor than luck. Face the pounding, don't fear the proving; and you'll stand well against any hammer and anvil.”

~Lloyd Alexander, Taran Wanderer~
This object evolved as I was exploring my own personal memories and experiences of depression and anxiety.

Copper wire, silver, bullet casing.
