Embodied

'Embodied'

The illustration depicts a simple outline of a person’s back, shown from the waist up. The lines are drawn in a muted olive green against a soft pink background. The figure has long, wavy hair flowing over their shoulders. Their back is exposed, but instead of showing a natural spine, there are six evenly spaced loops running down the center of their back, resembling the eyelets on a corset. These loops are laced together with a crisscrossing pattern, as if their back were being "tied" like a corset.

At the bottom, two hands are visible, tying the loose ends of the laces into a bow, reinforcing the corset-like effect.
