This is a reimagining of the skull of Marilyn Monroe, based around Dr Franz Joseph Gall's now debunked theory of Phrenology which used the shape of a person's skull to understand their personality. The ridges and bumps on the skull link to a set of 35 sections depicting different personality traits. These sections were only noticeable by touch however here the bumps have been exaggerated in order to be visible to the human eye. This skull is a reversed engineer version of the theory using known data about her personality to create the overall shape.
