Storyline

You are Valdis, a stonemason with the soul of an artist. You are so enraptured by your latest project - to sculpt the form of a woman onto the facade of a rich man’s Art Nouveau home - that you find yourself sculpting away late into the night. 

You feel such a peculiar connection with this piece, almost as if you are sculpting your dream woman into life… you gaze up at her beautiful moonlit face in awe.

You reach up a hand to brush loose powder from her cheek. 
Suddenly, she sneezes...
