Egyptian Pharaoh Soapstone Carving Time Lapse

This video records my exploration of an ancient Egyptian sculpture. The form is inspired by a portrait fragment I saw in a museum. The original is believed to be an image of Akhenaten dating to ca. 1352-1336 B.C. Sometimes just a fragment or ruin gets my imagination going more than a complete work. This small piece took me around twenty hours to make across four days.
Thank you for taking a look!
More information from Wikipedia on Akhenaten:
Akhenaten tried to shift his culture from Egypt's traditional religion, but the shifts were not widely accepted. After his death, his monuments were dismantled and hidden, his statues were destroyed, and his name excluded from the king lists. Traditional religious practice was gradually restored, and when some dozen years later rulers without clear rights of succession from the 18th Dynasty founded a new dynasty, they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors, referring to Akhenaten himself as "the enemy" or "that criminal" in archival records.
He was all but lost from history until the discovery during the 19th century of the site of Akhetaten, the city he built and designed for the worship of Aten, at Amarna. Early excavations at Amarna by Flinders Petrie sparked interest in the enigmatic pharaoh, and a mummy found in the tomb KV55, which was unearthed in 1907 in a dig led by Edward R. Ayrton, is likely that of Akhenaten. DNA analysis has determined that the man buried in KV55 is the father of King Tutankhamun, but its identification as Akhenaten has been questioned.

Very nicely done.
The first Soapstone carving I watch on RUclips that I actually like, and think it to be a work of art.
Congratulations.
