Even My Skull is Lined with Gold (2026) by Indio Möglich is a sculptural glass work that explores the relationship between mortality, ornament and material transformation. Shaped in the form of a human skull, the translucent glass is embellished with gold lustre, highlighting its hollow eyes, teeth and intricate surface details. A small cross rises from the crown, surrounded by delicate, flower-like glass formations that evoke both religious iconography and decorative traditions.

The work draws on the historical symbolism of the memento mori, a reminder of life's transience, while transforming a familiar emblem of death into an object of beauty and preciousness. The contrast between the fragility of glass and the enduring associations of gold creates a tension between the ephemeral and the eternal.

Balancing the macabre with the ornamental, Möglich's sculpture invites reflection on the ways in which beauty, material value and mortality coexist.
