The Light After Death (2019-2020) series combines organic animal skulls with man-made sleek neon, confronting the fragility of life and the eternal perfection of geometry.
The work is a modern revisitation of a traditional hunting trophy in a new urban context, giving the work new life and meaning. Both beautiful and electrifying, these functional light pieces evoke a romantic reminder of the beauty of life and the inevitability of death - memento mori.
