A classical stone bust of a youthful face appears fractured at the crown, with its broken top edge transformed into glittering diamond-like crystals that cascade downward like tears or a crown. The work merges rigid sculptural tradition with surreal transformation, rendered in monochromatic tones that emphasize the stark contrast between smooth classical features and the sharp, luminous faceted surface erupting from above. 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.
