INDIGESTIBLE BREAKFAST, 2020

 

Vanitas, a subgenre of baroque still life, is characterized by being full of symbolism; They used to paint skulls to represent death, roses for decadence, and an overturned glass was used to symbolize the futility of worldly pleasures. Are these cereals a pleasure? I don't think so, but I thought it was funny to represent death in a colorful unicorn environment.

The idea for this text was given to me by Paulina Aleshkina in one of her still life photography classes. Thanks Pau :)
