Tarogramma citizens can often be seen wearing iconography and jewellery to represent their interests and allegiances. When a person adorns themself in multiple icons this is called ‘Showing’.⁠
⁠
In this image, the figure wears four icons; ⁠
The Amoeba - representing their work at the Tarogramma Research Centre, ⁠
The Hand - Representing membership of a highly secretive elite organisation, ⁠
The Ghost - one of the largest family groups in Tarogramma, ⁠
and the symbol of The Church of the Void, the primary Tarogramma religion.⁠
