Where there are skulls, there are stories 

Project Summary 

The theme I chose for this conceptual still life photography is vanitas with a twist of where there are skulls, there are stories. Vanitas is a genre of art which uses symbolism to show the transience of life, and the certainty of death. I decided to keep my pictures based on the notion that captures mortality in different forms. All of these still-life photographs revolve around a skull in different environments and settings, portraying distinct abstractions portraying death. The environments and accompanying objects not only highlight the inevitability of death but also celebrate the remnants of life and the enduring impact of memories, making the skull a silent storyteller that bridges the gap between the living and the dead.
