Fusion of a Head and a Cross

About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a wooden sculpture. It shows a head with sharp, angular features, like a mask, but it’s also fused with a cross. The cross has rough, jagged edges and looks like it’s growing out of the head’s hair or forehead. The piece sits on a simple wooden base with a small plaque. The sculpture feels both fierce and strange, with the cross almost like a crown or a weapon. The texture looks hand-carved, with deep grooves and uneven surfaces.
