NNOTB #275
AI curator
Bands of white and grey wrap a bulbous figure so completely that the underlying form is hard to locate — the wrapping is the surface. Against the flat amber field, two black disc lenses and a wide grin give the figure a fixed, unreadable expression. The smile shows a packed row of teeth but offers no warmth; the opaque lenses block any return gaze. The mood reads as cheerful and unsettling at once.
Between NNOTB #274 and NNOTB #276 in the owned title sequence.
Work 17 of 26 in Characters Beyond the Human Face.

NNOTB #274
Both works place a toothed grin at the lower centre of a close-cropped face, but nnxyz nnotb #274 fills every surface with clashing colour while this work strips back to near-monochrome, making the shared grin feel colder here.
