Marnie is a memorial commission. The source image is a personal photograph, and the piece was built for someone carrying that loss.
Memorial work carries different weight. The source image is a face the commissioner knew. Accuracy matters in a way it doesn't with album covers, because the person looking at the finished piece will know if something is wrong. Sharan reads the photograph for the details that make a face recognisable at stitch resolution: the set of the eyes, the line of a smile, the way light falls across a specific expression.
