In the WAR LOVE timeline, USS MARIA is the memory-vessel that refused to sink, swallowing flame and violet signal as the deck broke under a storm of orders. Gold flecks chart the last coordinates; glittered spray marks the breach where love held the line and then let go. This piece anchors the night of October 4, 2025 — the moment the hull gave way and the heart did not.
Notes: Hand-applied glitter and gold flake create live sparkle under direct light. Minor surface variation and micro-sheen shifts are intrinsic to the material process. Ships museum-packed with corner protection and documentation.
