A quotation from Alexander Smith
> Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church-yard, and although we are away, the world wags on […]
This painting, titled "Lebensrad mit Tod" (Wheel of Life with Death), is an 18th-century #Vanitas motif from the vicinity of Innsbruck, Austria

Frodsham, St Laurence’s churchyard is pure picture-postcard beauty & stories it holds, 1700s graves, a 1790 sundial, Prince Warabo of Opobo… an anchoress sealed into her living tomb—
And perfect memento mori beneath my feet.

Diese Irren denken halt nur bis zur Nasenspitze und meinen, dass das Ende aller aller Zeiten anbrechen muss, nur weil sie sich ob ihrer eigenen Sterblichkeit einscheißen.
Man sollte sie jeden Tag daran erinnern. #MementoMori

Elegy of Withered Light dwells in the stillness between life and disappearance. The dried bloom, once vibrant and full, now exists in a state of delicate surrender—its petals thinned to parchment, its color drained into soft, earthen whispers. Set against a dark, almost infinite backdrop, the flower becomes less an object and more a meditation on transience. Light falls gently across its fragile surface, revealing intricate veins like the memory of life still etched within. There is no violence in its decay—only a quiet yielding, a slow acceptance. The stem, slender and unassuming, anchors the composition, suggesting endurance even as beauty fades. This piece reflects on impermanence—not as loss alone, but as transformation. It invites the viewer to find grace in endings, and to recognize that even in withering, there is a profound and haunting elegance. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx concep, photo and execution by Yves

There’s a quiet beauty in what remains after bloom.
Elegy of Withered Light captures the fragile grace of time’s passing—where even decay holds a kind of reverence.

Your death will not be the end of the world.
But it will be the end of yours.

Ashes of the Hour is a contemporary interpretation of the vanitas tradition, where each object speaks in quiet defiance of permanence. At its center, the skull rests not as a symbol of fear, but of inevitability — a calm witness to the passing of all things. The extinguishing candle releases its final breath, curling upward like a soul departing. Time, captured in the frozen face of a watch and the slipping grains of an hourglass, reminds us that every second dissolves as it is lived. Surrounding elements — wilted flowers, tarnished coins, scattered cards — whisper of pleasures, ambitions, and chance, all fleeting and ultimately inconsequential. The rich, warm tones evoke a sense of intimacy, drawing the viewer into a moment suspended between life and decay. This piece does not mourn death — it acknowledges it. And in doing so, it asks a quiet question: If everything fades… what, then, truly matters? Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves

Time does not pass — it consumes.
Ashes of the Hour reflects on the fragile weight of existence, where beauty, knowledge, and wealth all bow to silence.

Bloom from Bone explores the fragile coexistence of mortality and rebirth. The skull, a universal symbol of finality, becomes a vessel rather than an end. What once contained consciousness now nurtures something wordless and pure. The flowers do not erase death—they emerge through it. Their softness contrasts with the harsh permanence of bone, suggesting that beauty is not separate from loss, but born within it. This piece sits in the space between grief and acceptance, where something gentle begins to grow—not despite the void, but because of it.

From emptiness, something still reaches for light.
