Interesting one. I like looking at one of these when I go to my local city art/science museum which I will lose my student discount to soon. But she looks at me like she knows me, or accuses me of something. Her eyes are closed but the bulging of the eyelids communicate everything an eye can. Cast eyes behind cast eyelids telling me something from behind the display. If that had an article maybe I would write under that too. I would want one cast for myself but I fear I might look too dead when I die, but a mask doesn't die. Maybe I should go see her.
