Head

A forensic artist is asked to make a 3D facial reconstruction of a subject in ecstasy. She is provided with the standard elements of her trade: a skull, hair sample, and a forensic report. 

The skull was produced from cat scans of my own taken at the Utrecht Hospital in the Netherlands. I filled out a standard forensic report, describing myself as missing, in a state of ecstasy. The head is realized from this material alone, without the forensic artist ever having met her missing subject.
