The skull emerges as a mental territory rather than a physical vestige; it is not a symbol of death, but of accumulation. A saturated repository of signs, paths, mistakes, successes, and overlapping memories, echoing Julio Parra’s dialogue with Basquiat, where the skull functions as a charged site of identity, anatomy, and lived experience rather than a “memento mori” (Latin expression meaning “remember that you must die”).
