Original artwork description:

This painting is a contemporary reflection on the classical vanitas theme — not as a still life, but as a living portrait in disintegration.
A woman gazes into a mirror, but what stares back is not herself — it's the echo of impermanence, the form of mortality, half-forgotten and half-revealed.
Her image dissolves into expressive gestures, while the skull in the mirror remains intact — precise, unmoved.
She is beauty undone.
She is the moment between awareness and denial.

Painted in oil with a blend of figuration and abstraction, the work explores themes of vanity, identity, and the silent persistence of time.
