A striking photogravure etching by Damien Hirst, *Victory Over Death* presents the artist's enduring fascination with mortality and the fragile boundary between life and its cessation. Rich layers of hand-applied gouache animate the printed surface, adding a visceral, almost luminous quality to the work on its textured Arches paper ground. True to Hirst's signature confrontational aesthetic, the piece transforms themes of death into something simultaneously unsettling and visually arresting.
