Symbiotic Reciprocity: Living Garments
In this world, garments are the living proof of care, woven not from dominance, but from relationship. Clothes mend themselves only if the silkworms are tended. Shoes endure if the ground beneath is honored. Jewelry grows from coral, fungi, or wood, reshaping with each gesture of health or harm. Here, status is reciprocity: garments thrive in proportion to relationship, not extraction. To wear is to nurture. To adorn is to exchange. Each piece is a covenant — between body, world, and the living threads that bind them.
