In this final bust for the 2025 EOD Memorial Foundation’s auction, the palette erupts with deep reds and ochres over a backdrop of rich ultramarine blue. The explosive color scheme is no accident—it represents both the danger of the job and the heat of memory. Here, the suit feels alive with energy, as if it’s pulsing with the stories of those who wore it. The brushstrokes are looser, more expressive, capturing emotion over form. The effect is both intimate and heroic, honoring the human spirit within the armor.
