See the eerily beautiful and grotesque images from the Tibetan Buddhist and Christian European traditions in the form of paintings, sculptures, quotidian objects, and ritual items made from human remains as you ponder the inevitability of mortality and judgement day. These provocative works of art were created to startle viewers out of apathy, urge them to contemplate their mortality, and inspire them to use their short time on earth to secure a desirable place in the afterlife.
