Vanitas collects the human body without subterfuge, outside and inside. We realize how fragile we are. Therefore we think, we all have the same viscera, arteries and muscles.

First of all, inside the human body is a tremendous beauty so I am captured by it.

It took years for selection of medical books and anatomical atlas. Vanitas attempts to reflect its beauty, and fragile.

Place the bare interior, looking for the human soul and if someone gives you his heart is really what gives you that and nothing else, the total delivery.

For a long time inside the human body has been postponed for the exclusive use of medicine and science. Now it is time to claim it for our contemplation.
