who is blumo

blumo is a small figure with a wide head, dot eyes, and no mouth. he's 4 inches tall and made from matte cream resin. he doesn't say anything. that's on purpose.

he shows up in quiet moments — on a shelf, on a desk, beside a lamp that's been left on. he doesn't ask anything of the room. he just makes it feel a little less empty.
