Title: | Bust of Justinian |
Description: | A bust featuring the Byzantine emperor Justinian as he is depicted in the San Vitale. His angry blue face seethes a rageful energy, and his scornful expression aims to command attention whilst striking fear in the viewers heart. His crown, made of dripping glass beads, creates a halo, causing the viewers eyes to circumambulate around his head and take in the entirety of his face. His body motions toward the viewer, with one shoulder strutting out to the front and one toward the back, creating the illusion of him walking. The individually crafted rusty red curls jutt out of all angles of his head like menacing snakes, which contribute to his fear-inducing appearance. From his wicked scowl to his piercing resin eyes, my work Bust of Justinian intends to epitomize the commanding and pertifying aura of a powerful leader. |
