REVERSE explores the back side of portrait busts, created by Dutch product and interior designer Thomas Eurlings. His fascination began after seeing a photo of the back of a bust of Marie Antoinette at the Museum of Modern Art in Houston (featured on the cover). The back, rich in details like curls, braids, pearls, and ribbons, presents a modern silhouette. Eurlings found it intriguing that you could explore these details without anyone looking back at you, creating both distance and intimacy.
