Diorama Series #16 — Dioramas work, 2014, Lisbon, Portugal

A bearded male portrait emerges from a dense relief of white Styrofoam, the face built up through layered fragments cut by hot-wire and assembled by hand. The jagged, accreted surface inverts Vhils's signature subtractive method, rendering the figure in additive volume against a void-black ground.
