Nefertiti

Seeing the bust of Nefertiti for the first time was truly breathtaking. Initially, I was completely consumed by her perfectly symmetrical face and gorgeously long neck. I walked away not able to shake off how the experience made me feel. I had to go back! My second visit, probably not more than 10 minutes after seeing her for the first time--I got goosebumps, tears ensued, and I rushed out. I realized that I wasn't struck by what was on the surface, as pretentious as that may sound. My experience of Nefertiti was about the beauty that radiated beyond the surface or what was immediately in front of me. I felt both at peace and uncertain when I looked into her eyes. Go check her out if you haven’t done so already. See her a few times… she’s worth it.
