Scrimshaw 41
AI curator
The head looms forward, its three hollow spiral sockets staring outward with unsettling symmetry. Tangled black lines pile up like wire, trapping flashes of cyan, pink, yellow, and purple underneath. The jagged white teeth read as a frozen grin or grimace—the expression stays unresolved. Warm golden tones seep through the scribble, giving the dark mass a faint glow that can feel either menacing or mournful depending on where you look.
