This sculptural cow skull is an exploration of quiet contrast, where bone, glass, and living plants meet. Created from a naturally found deadhead that was ethically collected and cleaned, the skull is surfaced in hand-cut white glass, chosen to echo the color and texture of natural bone while amplifying it. The white mosaic does not disguise the skull. It heightens it, catching light where bone once dulled, allowing form and shadow to feel sharper, cleaner, and more intentional.
The glass fragments vary subtly in translucency and finish, creating a surface that shifts gently with light rather than remaining static. This restrained palette allows the structure of the skull itself to take precedence, honoring its original shape while elevating it beyond its former state.
Nestled within the interior cavities are succulents, deliberately placed to emerge from the skull’s negative spaces. Their presence introduces softness, color, and growth where there was once only absence. Life is not added as ornament here, but as meaning. The plants transform the skull from an object of finality into one of continuation.
This piece is a meditation on cycles. Death holding life. Fragility supporting resilience. The white surface speaks to preservation and memory, while the living interior insists on renewal.
Designed as a wall mounted sculptural work, this skull reads as minimal from a distance and richly detailed up close. Over time, the succulents continue to grow and change, making the work subtly alive and ever evolving.
