This striking diptych juxtaposes two profile portraits - on the left, a classical marble sculpture with elaborate curled hair and defined features, and on the right, a contemporary photograph in muted tones. The composition draws immediate attention to the remarkably similar angles, proportions, and poses between the ancient and modern subjects. Both profiles face rightward and share nearly identical nose lines, jaw angles, and upward gazes. The marble figure's draped clothing on the left contrasts with dark modern attire on the right. The title suggests a cyclical nature to human features and artistic representation across time, emphasized by the seamless way the two images mirror each other despite being created centuries apart. The lighting in both images is soft and dimensional, highlighting the sculptural qualities in both the stone and photographic portions.
