This artwork captures the visage of an elderly man with astonishing detail. The deep wrinkles on his face resemble maps of ancient years , each line narrating stories of experience, resilience, and life’s ups and downs. His profound eyes, like mirrors of pain and glory, gaze at the viewer, while the embossed shadows around his face add a mysterious depth to the scene.

The bold reliefs and sharp lines not only bring the face to life but also seem to trap the old man’s breath within the layers of stone or wood. This piece symbolizes the power of aging —a moment where time, instead of destroying, immortalizes beauty in the depths of wrinkles.
