This sculptural piece features a mask-like form with an oxidized turquoise patina, mounted on a twisted neck or pedestal. The surface has a weathered, textural quality with hints of copper-orange tones breaking through the dominant blue-green coloring. The mask bears closed or downcast eyes and full lips, with a lit cigarette protruding from the mouth. Distinctive curved elements, reminiscent of art deco styling, sweep out from both sides of the head like elaborate ear ornaments or decorative flourishes. The entire piece has a fluid, almost melting quality, particularly in how the base twists and narrows, creating a sense of instability or movement. The sculpture sits atop a clean white plinth, creating a stark contrast with the aged, metallic appearance of the artwork itself.
