Vanitas with Skull, violin and books

DESCRIPTION: This still life composition speaks to the impermanence of life and the transitory nature of human achievements. The skull, a stark reminder of mortality, rests atop books symbolizing knowledge and legacy, while the violin and sheet music capture the fleeting essence of art and creativity. The snuffed candle and hourglass underscore the relentless passage of time, inviting viewers to ponder the mystery of existence and the inevitable end that unites all.

PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS: Using Light Painting technique each object was carefully illuminated to accentuate the subject's inherent beauty. This meticulous process requires shooting in a completely dark room with patience and precision, ensuring that every element enhances the overall harmony and balance of the composition.
