A ceramic portrait bust isolated on a fully transparent background with nothing behind it, alpha equals zero, not white, not colored, no checkerboard pattern, a real alpha channel throughout. A small frosted light bulb grows directly from the crown of the head as part of the skull, opaque white at its base and switching to a bright warm glow at its center, the glow lighting the ceramic face from above. A 1:1 square composition, close three-quarter view, the whole bust and bulb fully inside the frame with clear margin on all sides.
The figure wears a look of sudden realization, eyebrows raised high and shoulders newly straightened, head tilted slightly upward toward its own light. There are no lamps, desks, signs, plaques, books, screens, or lettered surfaces anywhere, and every ceramic surface is blank and unmarked.
Sculptural portrait rendered in smooth glazed ceramic with soft modeling, warm ivory tones against the cool glow of the bulb, gentle studio-like shading on the clay. The grounded bust rests with a soft semi-transparent contact shadow in the alpha channel, darkest beneath its base and fading outward, and no element touches or crosses the frame border.
