Años de los muertos (Vanitas)

As a young woman, I worked in geriatric care and accompanied people through dying. Since then, mortality has sat on my shoulder as a sober advisor.

War Vanitas places a human and an animal skull side by side—equals in death. A glass sphere reflects something we cannot grasp. And on the last page of the catalogue, a skeleton grins beneath a red wig: 100% Unsterblichkeit. Because sometimes, after all the weight, laughter is what’s left.
