"Vertebrae" explores the metaphor of the spine—not just as an anatomical structure, but as a symbol of resilience, humility, and silent strength. It reflects on how even unseen parts of us carry immense burdens, heal quietly, and grow stronger with time. Through its blend of vulnerability and grit, it challenges clichés about toughness and celebrates the quiet power of endurance.
