A symbolic still life balancing mortality, time, and renewal in a meditation on life’s fragile cycles.
Description
This still life weaves together symbols of mortality, knowledge, time, and renewal with quiet precision. The skull, lying on its side, anchors the composition as a stark reminder of impermanence, while the lit candle speaks of both illumination and the fragile brevity of existence. The presence of Bleak House introduces a literary echo of human struggle and endurance, grounding the piece in cultural memory. The metronome, caught mid-swing, embodies the relentless passage of time, its cover resting across the wheat as though to suggest the tension between order and nature’s cycles. The oyster shell, cradling the wheat ears, becomes a vessel of fertility and sustenance, a counterpoint to the skull that reminds us of life’s capacity to renew itself. Together, these elements form a meditation on the fragile but enduring rhythms that bind existence.
