Innocence is not lost all at once—it unravels, thread by thread, shaped by time, experience, and the weight of the world. Yet, within every change, there remains a part of us that clings to its essence, a quiet resistance against the forces that seek to reshape us. This piece captures that fragile balance—the determination to preserve what is pure, even as the world demands transformation. The gaze reflects both knowing and longing, a testament to the innocence we fight to keep despite the inevitability of change.

Time weaves its patterns upon us, unraveling the purity we once carried. Yet, beneath the layers of change, a fragment remains—clutching onto the untouched self, resisting the world’s demand to reshape it. Innocence may fade, but it never fully disappears; it lingers in the spaces we refuse to surrender… Our conscience.
