The term VANITAS is a Latin word, which can be translated as “Vanity”. Nowadays this term commonly refers to a very high degree of pride of one’s own actions, abilities, possessions, social status, etc. Yet it can also be associated with futility and frivolousness as it was used centuries ago. In art, this concept has been used in many different periods. It was usually used to emphasis the certainty of death and that material possessions had no real transcendent value. This artwork -which is part of my current project “FLESH”- presents a woman, which seems to be taking a “selfie”. While we admire her curves, beauty and sensuality, it is easy to -conceptually speaking- overlook the half skull on the back of her phone. It is unsure if the skull is part of a mere phone case or if it is something else. Could it be some kind of reflection or the revelation that she herself is death? Either way, the notion of death forces itself on to us, reminding us that no matter how precious or admired we are, life is but ephemeral.
