In Project 20, the head is wrapped in alternating bands of blue, gray and teal tones, transforming the structural logic of anthropotecture into a visual system of chromatic strata. Rather than relying on added wood or external frameworks, this piece explores architecture as a sequence of color-defined layers, suggesting sedimentation, elevation markers or façade divisions within a built environment. Cast in high-hardness cement using a silicone mold, the sculpture preserves the inherent qualities of concrete: pores, tonal irregularities, fine fissures and minor surface variations that reflect the physical behavior of the material. The painted layers—applied with water-based pigments—introduce a strong horizontal rhythm, activating the form and redefining the anatomy through color rather than volume. A semi-matte varnish seals the surface and enhances the transitions between chromatic fields. Fine aggregates ensure crisp modeling, while acrylic fibers and a water-reducing agent strengthen the mixture and prevent shrinkage cracking. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
