Cordyceps - Portrait II

This graphite drawing presents a surreal portrait intertwined with Cordyceps mushrooms, known for their unusual, parasitic beauty. The pencil-rendered face brings a sense of realism and intimacy, while the fungal forms suggest themes of transformation, decay, and the boundary between the human and the natural.

The compact 20 x 20 cm format on 180 gsm acid-free paper gives the work a delicate presence, yet the composition is rich with organic detail and emotional nuance.
