Themes: * Merrick as a living fractal. * The face and mask related to the sculptural principles of object and cast. * (Church) models or miniatures and how we relate to them. * The architecture of Churches as symbols of the Body of Christ. * The principles of facial recognition and the impossibility of remembering Merrick's face in detail. * The dominance of geometric tools in physicsPlease fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
