This still life photograph, themed around the obsession with life and beauty is composed of multiple symbolic objects. The skull in the mirror reveals the fragility of life, exuding a presence that evokes the inevitability of death. In contrast, the beautiful mannequin hand represents the longing for life and the desire for beauty, glowing with a cold yet alluring texture. The rolling glass symbolizes the fleeting moment that could shatter at any second. Life and death intersect, posing a provocative question about humanity’s primal obsession with life and beauty in this allegorical piece.

I am a Japanese street photographer. I'm shooting my town, street, and casual days. Sometimes I also take still lifes.
