I've been working on the tabù of death for years now, I decided back in 2014 to find a way to bring back the Vanitas to the context of nowadays, since we never stopped aging and dying.

The Vanitas paintings were originally meant to be understood only by an intellectual elite that knew the message hidden behind each element in the painting, but what I find hilarious is that these paintings were telling the audience to remember you have to die (Memento Mori) but they are there, trapped into time, never aging, never dying, pulling our leg, as we all will.

I decided to make my Vanitas with humble materials that could be understood by all, to create an honest fossil that told a story lived in the first person and that would adapt to our cultural context by going out from the canvas, that's how I chose bread.

In this particular event we met up and ate the bread skulls that represent death. Death was never so tasty.
