A symbol for not fearing death and looking to life: the philosophical art of skulls and mandalas

"Skull vol.1" is a very unusual and unique artwork that combines the symbolism of the skull with the spirituality of the mandala.
Skulls have long been symbolic of protection, death and rebirth, and protection , and have been treated as special motifs in cultures around the world.
In Japan, it is also popular as a symbol of the "impermanence" and "cycle of life and death," and has been seen not as something to fear from death, but as "a presence that allows us to think deeply about life."

The author realized that "thinking about death is actually thinking about life," and decided to take on this theme.
Rather than viewing the skull as a symbol of fear, which is often avoided,
The artwork is created as "art that allows one to confront the meaning of life."

The background of the work is a white mandala pattern, with light radiating out from it, surrounding the skull.
Mandalas are sacred figures in Buddhism that represent the universe, harmony, and circulation.
It symbolizes the idea that death does not mean the end, but rather that death is a cycle that leads to rebirth.

The skull boldly placed on top of the mandala creates a design that exudes serenity and strength rather than fear.
The delicate white brushstrokes, fine pointillism, and dancing light background highlight the pure presence of the skull.

The black frame gives the work a more substantial look, making it easy to display as modern art.
