The love of skulls...
Did you notice that it is always easier to attract attention, when instead of some lovely flowers you put a skull in your work.
Skulls have been for ages the symbol of a large number of subcultures, but only recently became widespread even in fashion.
Only nowadays it needs more than wearing a skull to make you an outsider.
Could it be that out of fear from death this visual has so much attraction on us... and that way we exorcise this fear?
Skulls might be popular as decoration because they are one of the few socially acceptable ways to address death.
Whatever the reason, I know some bone covered crypts and especially one of them where it is written into the floor:
"What you are, We once were, What we are, You will be."
"Enclosing your mind"

It looks very nice on the big TV screen and will even look better and much bigger together with many other visuals that I've made for this HipHop event taking place at the end of November in London.
That way skulls may dance together with future skulls.

The better you look the more you see
Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, Bettler oder Kaiser?
The Bible says "those that love death hate me [God]." I skipped over the fake-news like flower posts and stopped on this one because this one was appropriate for me to answer.

This is really cool, I dig your moving art (like I'm trippin). And yea I agree about skulls as they are very powerful symbols and have been for millennia. That in itself imbues it with lots of power, let alone the inevitability that it represents which remains true for all things in existence. Thats as fundamental as it gets.
