First in a trio of portraits, though I didn't know it at the time. 

Initially inspired by an advert I saw on the tube that featured a bust with a missing nose, but as I worked on it this picture started to mean more and more to me. It's at the point now where I'd call this vent art. It and the following two pieces ended up showing a progression, I feel, from a tense and stressful situation into one where I can begin to feel confident again.
