James Hopkins – Vanitas series

UK born artist James Hopkins plays with perspective in his “Vanitas” (latin for vanity) series of installations to create the image of a skull out of everyday objects. Each object is hand selected and place very specifically on a bookcase. Some of the objects are slightly altered while others remain untouched. The works might be more poetic if they were arranged in closets but they are still beautiful and powerful as they are.
