A continuation of the "Crown of Bones" series, this work explores the ultimate beauty hidden behind the inevitable truth of mortality. Inspired by the "Urn"—a traditional funerary vessel in Thai and Asian cultures—the artist examines how these objects are often crafted with precious materials and scaled according to the social status of the deceased.

In this piece, the artist performs a symbolic "Inversion," taking the bones traditionally hidden within and transforming them into the external structure of the urn itself. By doing so, the work subverts the practice of using extravagant ornamentation to mask the essence of death. "URN OF BONES" serves as a profound reminder that an individual's true value and goodness cannot be replaced by external decor, but rather reside in the raw, irreplaceable core of their existence.
