A gothic faux taxidermy spider set within an architectural arch, featuring a black faceted gemstone body and layered vintage detailing.

Set within a 15cm rectangle frame, nestled in a narrow gothic arch, she remains still, marked by shadow and restraint. The faceted black gemstone body draws light inward, holding it close.

Where others are adorned, she is withheld. Where others are seen, she is kept. She does not seek forgiveness. She holds her place, enduring the stillness.

This faux taxidermy spider specimen sits within the deeper stages of Victorian mourning. The dark tones, gothic architecture framing and vintage-style detailing create a piece that feels quiet but heavy, rooted in ritual and reflection.

Each piece is assembled by hand using layered materials, architectural elements and vintage-inspired components, designed for gothic home décor and dark interiors.
