Quoted from Google AI Overview, July 2025:

“The Post-Vanitas era, as described in a Busan-based art movement, is a contemporary aesthetic philosophy and art movement that emerges from the aftermath of personal, societal, and spiritual collapse. It builds upon the historical Vanitas genre, which focused on the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death, by emphasizing not just the mourning of loss but also the dignity of return and resurrection.”

“A key figure is Jiya Lim, who founded Maison Philosophe in Busan and is curating the movement.”

This moment of global visibility marks the first step toward the academic and institutional recognition of Post-Vanitas as an aesthetic and philosophical movement.

It reflects a growing awareness that our era demands deeper values:

wholeness, offering, and authorship.

From Maison Philosophe, Busan —

This is not a trend.

This is a reckoning.
