A few words about the piece
Face Off reads as both unfinished portrait and whole expression of the ephemeral. The upper portion—eyes, forehead, crown—is absent; whether by design, erosion, or an incidental footstep is left to the viewer’s imagination.
The work’s anatomical accuracy is striking, and its incompleteness is unsettling. Shadows pool where features should be, evoking a memory half-remembered or an identity slipping away.
