Vanitas
Vanitas - I to X is a series of ten modern memento mori pictures.
Symbolic vanitas pictures were popular in the 17th century, serving to remind the viewer of their mortality in a religious age when almost everyone believed that life on earth was merely a preparation for the afterlife.
I'm not so sure about the after life, so best enjoy it all now and laugh through the tears. They are intended as a jolly jolt to remind me of my mortality.
Alongside traditional vanitas items like rotting fruit and candles, the party hats and the clown noses and smile are a reminder to me to turn up the frown and have a good time while it lasts as the end could be just around the corner.
