Barbwire Authentic Artwork
Sculpture in the Vanitas genre. Allegorical composition, the center of which is a skull.
The skull is a reminder of the inevitability of death. The viewer perceives it as his "reflection". The skull is a symbol of the frailty of human life, the futility of pleasures and the fleeting nature of material goods.
In the Vanitas genre, in addition to the skull, other attributes of death and the frailty of human life are used. In this composition, instead of the classic for Vanitas style laurel wreath, barbed wire is used. The wire adds a surrealistic touch to the sculpture. Barbed wire as a new symbol for the Vanitas genre. A symbol of captivity and the inevitability of death. Only death in this case becomes a deliverance from slavery and captivity.
