Vanità #06 - Façon De Venise

"Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas", vanity that masks that transience of life. The precarious nature of existence, the relentless passing of time, takes shape in these sophisticated glass objects, reminding us of the "l'infinita vanità del tutto*" (infinite vanity of the whole).
