Eternal Memory, Damien Hirst & Lalique, 2017

Through the 'Eternal' collection, the British artist Damien Hirst presents a series of motifs that can be read as emblematic of the cycle of life, rendered eternal in Lalique crystal.

The child’s skull depicted in Eternal Memory recalls a related artwork: For Heaven’s Sake (2008), in which the life-size platinum cast of an infant skull was pavé-set with 7,105 pink diamonds and 1,023 white diamonds.

Here, Hirst combines the imagery of classic memento mori with inspiration drawn from Aztec skulls and the Mexican love of decoration, as well as their attitude towards mortality.
