About

She is a snapshot expression that I found repeated each time I thought about my girlfriend at the time.

The mask, made of American maple and surfaced with a metallic fingernail polish, is a frozen expression of surprise, excitement, and lust in reaction to the slow movements of the actor. The mask is carved from American Maple and airbrushed with metalic fingernail polish that I sourced from a local beauty supply. I attempted to render the expression as if it were happily surprised while pursing its lips.
