The face seems to buckle under its own tangled lines—eyes built as lopsided concentric loops that sink at different heights, a mouth stretched wide with jagged marks scratched into purple. Radiating hair-like strokes push outward in every direction, giving the head a sense of unraveling. Against the cool blue ground, the warm yellows and reds inside read as feverish, suggesting a scream caught mid-breath.
