This is a head-and-shoulders sculpture of a person wearing a dark cap, a black scarf, and a red-and-gray plaid jacket. The face looks like it’s wrapped in clear tape, with the edges slightly crumpled. The background is plain and light gray, so the colors of the clothes stand out. The tape on the face makes it look like a mask or a temporary cover-up. It’s not painted—it’s made from real materials, like a photo turned into a 3D object. If you like this mix of photo and sculpture, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
