Shot-in-head sculpture

By at 10:15 pm Friday, Oct 6

I know nothing about this sculpture by Petroc Dragon Sesti, except that it appears to be a wax head that's been shot clear through, and it looks pretty wild. Link (via Wonderland)

Update: Allen sez, "This site explains more about these life-size sculptures:

The figurative sculptures encloded here were made in collaboration with the British Military, the male and female nude busts are made of 'hard wax' revealing the science of human self mutilation, through the impact of real military 20mm ammunition flesh wounds into the 'temporarely preheated to body temperature' wax busts.
