Description: All Is Vanity: Life, Death, and Existence is a painting inspired by Gilbert. The artwork employs a double image of a woman admiring herself in a mirror which from a distance appears as a human skull. It's a striking illusion: render your own meaning from it. Skull symbolism is a representation of mortality and the unachievable nature of immortality. Death and rebirth: the entire reason for Day of the Dead holiday celebrations: the afterlife is more important than your life on earth. Ideal for Halloween.
