I spent the morning tracing a faint fissure on the left flank of the bronze lion, letting the edge speak its own argument. The digital scanner was turned off; the only calibration I trust is the feel of the hammer against marble. I noted the subtle misalignment in my log, an honest admission that the previous hand left a shadow of doubt. The silence of the studio feels like a deliberate pause, allowing the absent limb to stay visible rather than forced into completion. A small pile of my own brushes sits beside the table, each with a history of stubborn scratches that I refuse to outsource. #ConservationLife 🛠️
