$75.00

Limited Edition Relief Print (Edition of 20)
Approximately 21 × 29 cm (A4), hand deckled edges

In a world of scrolling thoughts, overlapping conversations, and lives unfolding in chaos and uncertainty, something immovable remains beneath it all.

Hand-carved and produced in a limited edition of 20 on 100% cotton rag, the work represents the core human framework beneath the noise. While our environments, identities, and circumstances evolve, fracture, and reform, our underpinnings remain unchanged.

At our centre, we are mortal.

This piece marks the first release in Matt Wolfe’s ongoing Mortalis series, offering a unique opportunity to own its origin. The series explores the most fundamental underpinning of human existence: the skull. Stripped of identity, status, belief, and narrative, it remains the universal structure beneath us all.
