With "Globus", I deliberately photographed the skull from behind, giving it a nearly round, globe like shape. This perspective creates a powerful metaphor: the skull becomes a symbol of human existence that is both deeply personal and universally connected.
Just like the globe unites continents and oceans, the shape reminds us that each of us carries an inner world a universe of memories and experiences. This work invites reflection on the fragile balance between our mortality and our place within the vast, interconnected world.
Real skull from Papua!
