Self Reflection

A monochrome bust of a deeply lined, gray-skinned figure with heavy-lidded eyes, set against a black background.

Rendered in stone-like grays, the bust is all texture: deep folds and creases across the face and head, eyes nearly closed, lit softly from above against a pure black ground. A striking, sculptural portrait-format piece with a quiet, introspective mood.

The surface is the subject: every wrinkle catches the light, so the face reads almost like weathered rock. Calm and a little uncanny, it suits a wall where a single strong image can hold the eye.
