In this entry, The Snake Scales, The Nail Tech descends into the underworld — or rather, a Camberwell cellar — to repair the skin of a giant serpent sculpture.

What begins as a simple act of restoration becomes a sacred practice of silence, shedding, and self-repair.

Amid the ghosts of the Young British Artists and the hum of strip lights, she finds what she’d been craving all along: devotion, stillness, and her own quiet vow.

This is a story of art prayer, of snakes as teachers, and of the shimmering truths that reveal themselves when you dare to go underground.
