Where Moth and Rust Doth Corrupt
Where Moth and Rust Doth Corrupt is a memento mori inspired by the symbolic tradition of Dutch Baroque vanitas paintings. Through imagery of beauty and decay, the work reflects on the fleeting nature of mortal life and the inevitability of time’s passage.
The moth and corrosion serve as reminders that all earthly things—objects, bodies, and ambitions—are temporary. Rather than mourning this impermanence, the painting invites quiet reflection on what we choose to value and how we live in the present.
