#Rune

A rune is an ancient letter carved by Norse ancestors, yet in modern times it has been repurposed as a tool for self-help and Instagram aesthetics. It proclaims to reveal arcane secrets, while most users attach it to fantasy novels and fortune-telling apps without understanding a single symbol. Believed to alter fate when inscribed, it often ends up as a metal trinket of self-satisfaction, shared with pretentious hashtags on social media. It promises transcendence through stones or wood, while relying ironically on pre-upload filters for its miraculous effects. Under the guise of revealing truth, it actually serves as a medium to broker other people’s heartfelt poems and the coveted 'likes.'
