“Bakkus 2.0” With this piece I set out to explore how far a face can be stripped down while still expressing emotion and mimicry. Built from the most minimal elements: wood, cardboard and tubing. It reduces the human figure to its essentials, yet remains surprisingly full of character. What began as an experiment quickly resonated with a wider audience: this work went viral on Instagram, proving that even the barest construction can convey humor, fragility, and humanity. The original piece is not available for purchase. It remains reserved for exhibition purposes in museums and institutions. For collectors, I’m happy to create a new, tailor-made version. Just send me an email and we can discuss the possibilities. Details Experimental Sculpture 2023 8 x 9 x 30 cm Wood, cardboard, tubing, tape Authenticity Signed by the artist Balder Westein
