Description: Manish Barodia’s intense rendering of a skull within an oval frame invites deep reflection on mortality and the fragile boundaries of human existence. The dense, almost claustrophobic texture surrounding the form reinforces a feeling of confinement or introspection. With its dramatic contrasts and anatomical detail, the piece becomes a memento mori—urging viewers to confront the inevitability of death while contemplating the permanence of the soul.
