its depicting self harm without doing the stereotypical person cutting themselves.
the shadow of the blade is in the shape of a hand and an arm,
suggesting that the blade can cut the arm

The biggest question I have is what exactly cakes the blade in the tight spaces? Tarnish? Or perhaps something more...macabre?

Only the self harmer knows where it makes it better, that release of endorphins stimulates the mind numbed by years of psychotropics and trauma..... I only wish there was better way than a knife.
