Vanitas by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Vanitas

I challenged my partner to compose a vanitas still life. These are full of symbolism of humans' transience and mortality, hence the burning and unlit candles, a refracted skull, decaying flowers, dried wheat ears, the running hour glass,an open compass, the book and fossicked finds.

All things I had knocking about the house!
wonderful still life
hahahaha l love the narrative too - I'm sure we all have those things knocking about the house :)

This is great! I've never heard these still life's called this. So interesting! I will research this and try to emulate it myself. I learn so much from you! So great you found all these around your house. I collect "stuff" from second hand stores to photograph.
