century Vanitas still life painters.
I have tried to translate that genre
into a modern urban setting.
Vanitas is latin, meaning emptiness and
loosely translated corresponds to the
meaninglessness of earthly life and the
transient nature of vanity.
These painters were often obsessed with
with death and decay.
I myself am more concerned with the latter,
but perhaps they go hand in hand.
