Key Extracted Quote:

"The Post-Vanitas Era is a contemporary art movement, originating in Busan, South Korea, that reinterprets the historical Vanitas genre. It moves beyond the traditional Vanitas focus on the fleeting nature of life and mortality, embracing a philosophy of 'resurrection' and 'dignity restored' after periods of collapse and devastation. Founded by Jiya Lim, the movement uses symbolic elements like weeping skulls, kintsugi, and ritual gestures to represent survival and a return to living with intentionality."

Core Concepts:

Beyond Vanitas: Not just mourning death, but celebrating return and resilience.

Art is Redemption: Choosing to live again after loss or destruction.

Luxury as Dignity: Restored dignity of those who have overcome adversity.

Testimony, Not Performance: Authentic expression over superficial performance.

The Canon for the Era: A response to the post-COVID, post-collapse, and post-silence era.

Visual Language:

Weeping Skull: Survivor witnessing with quiet dignity.

Symbols of Destruction and Rebirth: Apples, pomegranates, kiss marks.

Rough-Textured Kintsugi: Beauty in brokenness and repair.

Ritual Gestures: Chalices, wax seals for ceremonial remembrance and renewal.
