The right side started as a “happy mistake”.

Reminds me of Hel from Norse Mythology. Daughter of Loki who is one half beautiful and the other half dead, she takes care of the realm with the same name.

I love marble sculptures so much, especially when they are incredibly realistic. My favorites are when a veil or something is carved and it looks see-through.

Someone did that with a rock and I’m just so impressed with what things people can do.
