The image shows a large-scale sculptural mask designed in the form of a bread-headed character, currently in a prototype stage. The structure is assembled using brown kraft paper sheets cut into irregular panels and secured together with white masking tape strips. The tape is applied in overlapping patterns across seams, angles, and folds, producing a visibly patchwork surface. The overall form emphasizes a rounded head with a protruding central nose, recessed eye sockets, and lateral ear-like extensions.

The scale suggests wearable dimensions, with apertures for eyes visible beneath the layered paper. The geometric paper facets are bent and taped to approximate organic curvature, giving the mask volume and anthropomorphic presence despite its provisional materials. Edges of paper protrude in some sections, indicating areas yet to be refined or reinforced.

The background context is neutral, with beige walls and shelving, suggesting the mask is under construction in a studio or workspace. A pointing finger enters the frame from the right side, emphasizing the handcrafted and process-oriented nature of the prototype.

This artifact represents an early-stage maquette within the Walking Bread series, documenting material experimentation with inexpensive, flexible substrates prior to final sculptural realization in more durable media such as papier-mâché, resin, or foam.

The image shows an individual standing indoors in a studio-like workspace, holding a sculptural headpiece shaped to resemble a stylized bread form.
