In this Vanitas inspired art work, I explored the idea that everything dies in the end. This, in turn, suggested our generation and attachment to trends. The work tells the story of collecting so many goods that in the end the items don’t matter, only the quantity. This plays into one of the deadly sins, ‘greed’. The skull tells us that materialistic things are not all that matter in life.
