Bursting Bubbles

The soap bubble construct shown in my “bursting bubbles” sculpture stands for a modern vanitas symbol, but even more for our society and lifestyle nowadays. It’s all shiny and glimmer and the more you have the better; but all has to be in the right construct and balance so that it doesn’t burst again immediately and one bubble, ones life gets swallowed by another, bigger one. At first glance high society life seems to be perfect, but have a closer look and you see it’s so fragile with all those clacks which are a result of fears and wrong doings.
