A Memento Mori built with the Unreal Engine.
Vanitas I ‐ A Memento Mori is inspired by the genre of Dutch still-life paintings, popular during the Dutch Golden Age (1575-1675), that evokes the transience of life. Vanitas I depicts a vase of tulips that references the tulip mania market (Dutch: tulpenmanie) of 1634 which collapsed in 1637, suggesting parallels with today’s cryptocurrencies and the non-fungible token (NFT) art market. As an NFT, Vanitas I is minted as a still image through OpenSea on the Ethereum blockchain. Created with the Unreal Game Engine.
