Imperfection is a deeply personal piece that embodies BRYCE's philosophy of transformation, memory, and the beauty of flaws. The work began with a photographic base, evolving through layers of texture and three-dimensionality. The hidden 3D-printed fragment—once a failed print—symbolises the unpredictability of creation and the value of imperfection. Miniature figures add a sense of movement and presence, reinforcing themes of isolation and connection. The transparent casing preserves the work as an artifact, highlighting the tension between visibility and concealment. This piece challenges traditional ideas of perfection, inviting the viewer to embrace the unseen and unfinished aspects of art and life.
