haha, sorry. It's a mushroom head! Sorry if it's gruesome, I'll probably end up changing it here soon anyway lol.
As to what it is, it's a sculpture of a human infected with cordyceps unilateralis. Which actually might not be probable in real-life, but it's cool nonetheless. See, last semester for my bio class, I was developing an oral presentation on the fungal infection (which wipes out whole colonies of ants and other insects in a manner similar to a zombie plague) when I stumbled across "The Last of Us" a video game which bases its creatures on it. The game looks awesome, is definitely worth the look up even if you're not into games (I'm not either, really). But anyway, the kinds of things their artists came up with in the hypothetical scenario of a mass human infection truly intrigued me and greatly influenced my eventual presentation which was, at first, only about the fungus (smiley: laugh)
Man I write a lot when I'm krunked.
