In a literal sense, this statue depicts Queen Margaret of France. She is wearing what appears to be a crown of sorts, and is wearing a cloak. I think the statue of queen margaret signifies wealth and power. Her gaze is looking downward with an expression of disgust or distaste. This leads me to believe her expression is directed towards her subjects from a place of power and privilege. I want to make sure I emphasize the power she holds over her subjects through distortion. By stretching the sculpture to emphasize her downward gaze, I think I can achieve this. There are other methods like making her bust look like a wave or c shape, demonstrating the unreachability of the crown. Going off of the crown specifically, the object that represents her power the most, I could try making it larger or more dominant to emphasize it. I also spoke a lot about her gaze, which gives me the idea that I could make her expression of disgust extremely exaggerated. I could make her look mortified with an almost inhuman appearance, to emphasize her feeling of superiority above humans.
