Description: The skull is one of the most universally recognized symbols in existence. From the Jolly Roger to tombstones and hazard labels, it’s an easy way to represent the concepts of danger and death. Medieval Europe had an entire genre for cranial imagery: memento mori (Latin for “remember that you die”). These artworks — The DanseMacabre skeletons, the vanitas still lifes — were meant to remind the viewers of their mortality. Centuries passed, trends came and went, but the memento mori stayed alive. In the late 19th century, Charles Allan Gilbert created a landmark visual pun titled All is Vanity. Look at the illustration, and you see a skull. Blink, and it transforms into a young woman admiring herself in a vanity.
Description: A unique gift with a macabre theme ideal for halloween. The first reaction that "it's a skull" is natural. The actual image, of course, being of an attractive woman at her make-up table. It's a striking illusion and we'll let you render your own meaning from it. Perfect for those who want to share a symbolic message of the skull is as a representation of death and mortality or those who have a gothic theme in their lives and home.

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.
