Epitaph is a striking monochrome meditation on death, remembrance, and the quiet power of natural decay. Centered in the composition is a ram skull with its curling horns and hollow eye sockets rendered in meticulous penwork. Surrounding it, blooming fungal forms rise in intricate clusters, transforming the scene into a graveyard garden where death fosters life.

The restrained black-and-white palette heightens the emotional gravity of the piece, allowing every delicate line to speak with clarity and intention. Marx’s signature precision brings a botanical elegance to the fungi, each bloom both a symbol an a testament to regrowth. Nestled at the base of the image is a death’s-head hawkmoth, a recurring symbol in Marx’s visual language, representing transformation, finality, and the mystery that lingers between worlds.

Unframed Pen and ink on hot-pressed watercolor paper measuring 12 inches by 13.5 inches. Signed by artist Lauren Marx on both front and back. Signature on back includes full title Epitaph and year 2023 Work was completed. Packaged for delivery in clear plastic sleeve and protective foam in durable cardboard outer material.
