Noticed a few skulls in Chiang Mai, usually from some
kind of deer; we came across the buffalo on that very windy
road to Pai. Older stone statues often lose their heads & limbs.
That all is impermanent is central in Buddhist philosophy.
Why are so many ~around the world~ using skulls or
skeletons in their images? Could it be more about copying,
than a kind of collective tuning in? Or is there really
a widely felt sense of the end of .. things?

I see the skull thing as a fashion. They have it on tshirts.
have a look at Strychnin gallery, stuff is reminiscent of Alex Grey, without his skill, though I think the
gallery is radical. Fashion/copy??
