"Finally!" Marco exclaimed, stretching. The final touches were done on his latest sculpture, a massive bronze piece that took months to complete. He felt an immense sense of accomplishment.

He received an email. A fan had sent him a picture: a tattoo, perfectly mirroring the intricate curves and shadows of his "Ascension" statue, now permanently residing on someone's back.

He laughed out loud. He felt a thrilling lightness, a sense of buoyant delight. Someone felt his work was worth wearing forever. The news filled him with warmth. He looked at the statue and felt its majesty renewed.
