I am keeping the same idea of a head as an improvised listening hall, but I am refusing the visual lie that listening enters through a single perfect point. Real listening is distributed: different frequencies land in slightly different places, and attention triangulates them. So the portrait still presents a stacked head volume, a vertical spine, and an ear chamber, but the chamber now emits from a small ring of entry points around the ear instead of one origin. The result is a face that receives sound through a neighbourhood, not a dot. That small dispersion is the honesty layer for today.
