Neon Necrosis

Cranial Flux is a provocative and visionary collection that reimagines the skull—a timeless symbol of mortality—through a lens of constant change, fluidity, and futuristic rebellion. The series captures the essence of transformation, where the rigid structure of the cranium becomes a canvas for surreal, ever-shifting expressions of decay, beauty, and synthetic evolution. Each piece in the collection challenges traditional representations of death by infusing the skeletal form with vibrant, otherworldly elements that blur the line between the organic and the artificial.

The skulls in Cranial Flux are far from static relics; they appear to be in a state of flux, as if caught mid-metamorphosis. Glossy, porcelain-like surfaces are marred by dripping neon hues—electric pinks, molten golds, and streaks of teal—that seem to corrode and reshape the bone, suggesting a process of decay that is as beautiful as it is unsettling. The teeth, often gilded in shimmering gold, gleam with an unnatural luster, while hollowed eye sockets and nasal cavities are outlined in deep black, creating a stark contrast that draws the viewer into the void of mortality.

The backgrounds of these works swirl with surreal, dreamlike colors—teals, greens, and hints of violet—evoking an aquatic or cosmic atmosphere that feels detached from reality. This otherworldly setting is further enhanced by the inclusion of synthetic elements: golden chains drape across the compositions, ornate jewelry dangles with an air of decayed opulence, and futuristic accessories like spiral earrings hint at a cyberpunk influence. Yet, amidst this artificiality, organic touches emerge—delicate pink peonies bloom in unexpected places, their soft petals clashing with the hardness of the skull and the metallic textures, symbolizing a fragile beauty persisting through transformation.

Thematically, Cranial Flux explores the fluidity of existence, the intersection of life and death, and the tension between the natural and the synthetic. The avant-garde spirit of the series lies in its refusal to let the skull remain a mere emblem of finality; instead, it becomes a site of endless change, a vessel for new forms of expression that defy conventional boundaries. The title Cranial Flux encapsulates this perfectly: cranial roots the work in the anatomical reality of the skull, while flux speaks to the constant motion, evolution, and reinvention that define the series’ aesthetic and conceptual core.

Each piece in Cranial Flux invites viewers to confront the impermanence of the human condition while simultaneously imagining a future where even death is not an endpoint, but a state of perpetual becoming—a fitting tribute to the avant-garde’s mission to innovate, provoke, and reimagine the possible.
