Striking and beautiful. I’ve been attempting a similar experiment on a bust (with light coming from below) and failing - partly for similar reasons you mention (reflected glare from actual ambient light on the dark parts - in my case affecting how it looks in hand from most angles) - so it’s good to know this can be done successfully

Very well managed high contrast, good achievement of the projection of that light coming from the upper right.
