A fantasy-inspired portrait burned onto a pallet. The wooden slats remain visible, giving the face a raw, handcrafted structure. The warmth of the wood and the depth of the pyrography give the motif a physical, almost relief-like effect. The figure appears not merely as a motif but as the carrier of a story that keeps working within the material.
