This piece is part of the series of work entitled "Eyes - Nose - Mouth", in which the face is reduced to its essential elements, taking advantage of the micro-expressions of non-verbal communication to convey an emotion or idea.
In this particular piece, the sculptor also was inspired by the philosophy of the Japanese technique of Kintsugi were the imperfections of the process or of the piece are owned and a fundamental part of the end result. Instead of bonding the pieces with gold, the artist opted for a assembly that displays the cracked areas, painted with brass ink.
By doing so, the facial expression of the head is still identifiable but the viewer is confronted with the no perfect concept as something beautiful.
