Create an illustration of a surreal, fragmented face inspired by Edward Gorey's style. Use meticulous cross-hatching to add depth and texture, especially in the shadows and contours of the face, capturing an eerie, almost otherworldly quality. Design the face with a simple yet haunting expression, emphasizing large, intense eyes and a slightly parted mouth, conveying a sense of mystery and unease. Integrate abstract, layered elements that appear to slice through or distort parts of the face, adding a surreal, dreamlike feel. Keep the background minimalistic to focus on the unsettling fragmentation, and include symbolic motifs such as a crack or subtle geometric shapes to evoke hidden psychological depth. Use a monochromatic palette with sparse, muted colors to enhance the eerie, timeless atmosphere.
