THE CIRCLE THAT BITES Hat

A boundary means very little if nothing happens when it is crossed. The Circle That Bites transforms protection into something active. The central occult star is enclosed by a ring that appears almost alive with teeth, claws, and bone—a warning structure rather than decoration. The small skull at its crown reinforces the cost of ignoring what the circle represents. This piece is about boundaries with consequences. Not hostility for its own sake, but the refusal to draw lines that everyone is permitted to erase.
