A note...

I broke a wine glass while doing the dishes. Two pieces snapped off and I gently placed them inside the glass and set it aside so I could finish cleaning the sink.

I got sidetracked and forgot about it, and as the glass caught my attention a short while later, I held it up and was absorbed into the cracks, crevices, and reflections created by stacking the pieces inside. I snapped a picture for reference before throwing the glass away.

To explain the strange fixation: I recently watched a glass-blowing competition on Netflix and have been obsessed with visualizing glass in all its forms.
