I've always been fascinated by the trend of Vanitas paintings. It's amazing how the stillness of the objects can give such a good representation of life and death in a constant motion. Everything we covet and everything we possess, our experiences and achievements, loses its value to the realization of mortality. But, at the same time, can make us appreciate the fleeting nature of our existence.
***This is how vanity looks like without her make-up***
To have it all, just to lose it when the day comes for us to leave this plane. To do it all? To do so much, just to satisfy ourselves, lowly mortals. Do we even deserve the time we spend on getting pleasure?
