Artistic and Symbolic Description of the Sculpture:

This face appears as if it has emerged from the depths of time—a blend of strength and fragility, of greatness and decay. The cracked black mask, revealing pale skin underneath, symbolizes the struggle between one’s true identity and the image we present to the world. The golden crown adds a sense of power and royalty, yet it also seems like a heavy burden, representing the responsibilities that come with authority.

The mismatched eyes—one brown, the other blue—embody a duality of vision: one eye sees the past, marked by its experiences and scars, while the other gazes into the future with anticipation and doubt. It is the expression of someone trapped between two truths, two worlds, between what once was and what could be.

This piece carries a powerful dramatic energy, provoking deep questions about identity, power, and the truths hidden beneath our masks.
