This is a vanitas done by Roberto from Art Corpus (Paris). It speaks for itself. Each element of this sleeve is a symbol of the transience of life and the certainty of death. I chose to break the hourglass because once Time is spent, we can’t get it back. I chose to put a thorn crown on the skull because there’s no belief that can prevent us from death. The lilys illustrate the paths of life towards death, and the transience of beauty. Roberto put all of these together in the greatest way.
