Flack’s use of grapes and jewels portray the human desire for consumption and luxury. The hourglass, calendar, and burning candle symbolize that life on earth is limited. The tarot cards represent fate and fixation on future events. The skull represents death in a literal form. The mirror invites the viewer to reflect on their own life. What choices have you made that will affect your future?
