This skull, part of a set of four transient lenticulars reflects his deep interest in Eastern culture and nature’s elemental beauty. Digitally sculpted and embedded with intricate metallic details, the artwork features vibrant hues inspired by the four classical elements—earth, water, air, and fire. The rich, decorative patterns have a mystical yet romantic allure, fusing traditional symbolism with technology. In McQueen’s words, “I’ve tried to illuminate the beauty in topics that are a bit mystical, macabre, and romantic,” making these skulls both visually captivating and steeped in deeper meaning.
