Vanitas

Written By The Lumen

Digital painting

Artist’s Statement:

This is a genre of art that uses symbolism to show the transience of life (colors and mood), the futility of pleasure (wilting flowers), and the certainty of death (skull). It is a type of allegorical art representing a higher ideal.

Zach Herron is a fourth-year medical student at the UTCOMLS.
