Visual Description: This is a glass sculpture of a human head, a little over a foot tall. The sculpture is conical in shape and gets gradually wider towards the top. The head has an opaque white core, decorated with doodled squiggles and swirls in various colors including white, black, lavender purple, dandelion yellow, and cobalt blue. The figure’s eyes are lavender with cobalt blue pupils. A pile of opaque white glass, jumbled in a heap, sits atop the sculpture’s head, imitating hair.
