A contemplative portrait merges human features with botanical elements, creating a double-exposure effect where fern fronds and leafy stems emerge from the figure's face and neck. The composition balances cool grays and blacks with touches of fresh green, rendered in a modern collage technique that dissolves the boundary between figure and nature. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
