What made you select this piece?

i think it looks a little crude and like a study, but it's full of foreboding, personality, emotion, sense of gravity...

I follow your posts you have very good taste and this one was quite different to your other selections. I like the variety of what you present. Each morning i have a coffee and discuss a piece of art with ai and it’s often one of yours that i select. I know posting stuff on reddit is like throwing a message in a bottle into the void, but yours wash up regularly on my shore. Thanks!
