The Joker's Smile
Dimensions: 15 x 5 x 15 in
Weight: 6 pounds
A cross-section of a dry oak trunk, or rather what remains of the tree, as the rest has turned to dust. Intriguingly, the leftover part strikingly resembles The Joker's smile. Two burning candles, representing eyes, add a surrealistic touch to the work.
The piece is coated with protective wax and gilding. The oak stand also features a smile, enhancing the whimsical yet unsettling theme of the artwork.
