A skull hidden among the petals of a chrysanthemum, the life that begins symbolized by the small bud, and the life that fades, a sort of "memento mori" in the style of the traditional Japanese tattoo. This work is a pyrography on pine wood, painted with a brush with the "gansai" of Japanese watercolors.
