The artwork fuses pioneering technology with traditional values and nature’s
beauty. It comprises a physical golden skull sculpture which was hand drawn and
then digitally sculpted. The timelapse of the delicate flowers, birds and moths
embedded in the skull work in unison to form an intricate and exotic immersive
experience. The flowers dying inside the skull’s framework set a tone that is
melancholic and romantic illuminating beauty in the mystical and macabre.
"I designed Vanitas Skull with my Uncle’s spirit in mind. He would have
really appreciated its melancholic romance, the combination of ideas from
different sources such as motifs and natural elements, and the use of
pioneering 3D art technologies." Gary James McQueen
