I put this together to focus and challenge myself on 3D portraiture. To make for the best and most enjoyable experience I did not use a conceptual reference. Rather I planned, invented and constructed everything carefully, until I arrived at this result which Im happy to share 
I fell compelled to add that when I started this I had a different vision for this project, but as the war broke in Ukraine out I found that it had an ever present impact on the way that I portrayed her and at this stage this context feels very true to her I feel.
