This sculpture is a weathered bust rendered in what appears to be concrete or stone, displaying deliberate cracking and erosion that suggests the passage of time. The head is tilted upward at an angle, with closed eyes and serene expression, creating a contemplative mood. The surface texture shows numerous small pits and fissures, with larger cracks running through the neck and back of the head. The piece has a monochromatic pale gray coloring, with subtle shadows emphasizing its dimensional features. The sculpture's deteriorated state appears intentional, reflecting the artwork's title by physically manifesting the effects of aging through its fractured surface. Despite its damaged appearance, the facial features remain clearly defined, creating an interesting tension between preservation and decay.
