Self Portrait with Skull
A haunting and meditative chromogenic print in which Marina Abramović gazes directly at the viewer while cradling a human skull, invoking timeless themes of mortality and the transient nature of existence. The work reflects Abramović's enduring engagement with the body, vulnerability, and the boundary between life and death. Rich in symbolic resonance, the image draws on centuries of vanitas tradition while grounding it in the artist's unflinching and deeply personal visual language.
