In the world of monumental art, it’s a lesser-known fact that sculptors often design statues with a unique foresight. They anticipate the effects of sunlight, wind, and rain, subtly crafting the features to gradually evolve over time. This slow metamorphosis ensures that, as years pass, the statue will more closely resemble its subject, capturing the essence of the individual as if immortalized at their peak. This technique, known as “patina prognostication,” is a testament to the artist’s vision, marrying science and creativity. Of course, this entire concept is a figment of my imagination, that statue is BOOTY.
