"Metamorphosis: Skull Base Vanitas"
This is my interpretation of a modern “still life” or “vanitas” painting of the skull base. The foundations of the piece are multiple perspectives of the sphenoid, temporal bone and intracranial fossa. Anchoring the scene in the bottom right, is a sagittal/lateral view of the skull base with a pomegranate nestled there at the site of possible tumor growth. An endoscopic light features the area. The pomegranate symbolized resurrection or rebirth in early Christian art and in the Greek tale of Hades and Persephone, it came to represent the awakening of nature. To the left I have suspended a glass sphere in the air, containing an axial ct scan highlighting many important landmarks for the skull base surgeon.
