Visual Description: This is a glass sculpture of a person’s head. The head is shaped like an elongated lightbulb and is approximately two and a half feet tall. The figure’s neck is burgundy in color, gradually fading until the head is completely clear, revealing a hollow interior. The figure has light blue eyes outlined in burgundy, a white and black mouth, and a black glob of glass along the top and back of the head, imitating hair. Inside the head are several painted metal protrusions in the shape of flowers. The flowers have indigo-blue stems and sand-colored petals with rounded bases and pointed edges.
