What a stunning piece. Imagine being pulled along by a coral carriage! Impressive work. This particular one has a smart title: such a brilliant concept, the ghost. The "coral carriage" and "opera seats" conjure up a fantastical world that is at once terrifying and alluring.

Ghairo, this piece is hauntingly beautiful—rich with atmosphere and mystery. The imagery of the “coral carriage” and “opera seats” paints a dreamlike escape that feels both eerie and enchanting. I love how it blends the ghostly with the elegant. A truly evocative and poetic journey.
