Beautiful Accident
What the mess turned out to be
The best things were never supposed to happen.
Beautiful Accident is about what can come out of the mess when you stop trying to force everything into place. The face feels found rather than planned, and that is the point.
Related work: Beautiful Accident and Twin Beauty both question what beauty is supposed to look like. One finds beauty in what was never planned. The other finds it in resemblance without sameness.
