Seeing 2012 (#11)

For your consideration: a macro view of a porcelain topography, one which, upon close reflection, may lead to revelations for some.

I find the brain's nimble ability to parse amazingly complex patterns with ease endlessly fascinating. The simple cast of light and shadow across mild contours on this scarred and pockmarked surface is wholly enough to provoke a quick recognition of the true subject's spirit.
