I | Lips, underside of nose and chin

An extreme horizontal crop centers closed lips, with the underside of the nose above and the chin and a few hairs below. Skin texture, lip lines and fine facial hair are enlarged while the background disappears entirely. A bodily fragment takes the place of the usual framing of a complete portrait.
