This note of elegance can be slightly disconcerting when confronting a human head floating in a jar. Yet transformed into sculpture by precise surgical tailoring, a preserved head boasts an unexpected elegance. Suspended in solution, it appears weightless and peaceful, free from our daily worries about decay and aging as it restfully waits out eternity in a sea of alcohol.
