Vanitas with Flowers

This sculpture is part of the tradition of vanitas, allegories that, since the Renaissance, have served as reminders of the ephemeral nature of existence. Here, the skull does not embody the end but rather transformation: from its surface emerge blossoming flowers, evoking the infinite cycle of life—that which endures, mutates, and is reborn.
The work celebrates the resilience of living things, nature's capacity to reinvent itself after every collapse. What dies nourishes what is born.
Looking to the future, this vanitas questions our place in the world. It invites us to turn our fragility into a momentum for evolution and to rediscover a simpler, more attentive, and more conscious connection with the living world.
