I find this creation by Laurent Massaloux to be rather enchanting.
The ‘Vanity Tidy’ bowl [was designed] on the theme of the vanities of life: time, wealth and ownership. The form was captured from the web, digitally manipulated, and then transmitted to a rapid prototyping program where it was formed three dimensionally by laser fusion in polyamide powder. ‘Vanity Tidy’ is composed of seven human skull structures placed in a circular mode.
The lotus design that appears when viewing the piece from above is my absolute favorite part of the bowl. I have a particular appreciation for lotus flowers due to their rich symbolism. Fusing a lotus image with human skulls is a statement I could probably spend way too long happily and poetically pondering.
