A crown of thorns, worn deliberately, with the gaze level and direct. This is the one figure that faces forward and refuses to look away – the period turned into something held rather than something suffered. The hands at her face are ambiguous on purpose: composure and constraint at once. Not a victim wearing pain, but someone wearing it the way you wear a thing you've decided to own.
