Emily says of her piece:
Inspired by the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’ celebrations, which celebrate those that have passed as well as remind the living of their own mortality. La Calavera Catrina (The Elegant Skull) was depicted by Posada as an upper class woman who was still at the mercy of death regardless of her status. This piece represents the idea of our own anatomy and mortality lying beneath the values of beauty and sexuality which bring power in modern times.

Available for $50 at the Street Anatomy store.
