Vanitas Skull was originally created as the hero image for the BAFTA-nominated ‘’McQueen’’ film pays homage to his late uncle, Alexander Lee Mcqueen. This piece is a physical sculpture made from resin and finished with gold leaf, where flowers and birds and moths intertwine to form a haunting silhouette. The delicate flowers, fading within the skull’s framework, evoke a sense of both melancholy and romance, serving as a reflection on life, death and the passage of time.
Inspired by the iconic skull sculpture featured in the documentary about Alexander 'Lee' McQueen, serves as a timeless tribute to his visionary legacy.
