Reliquary of the Forest
Original Mixed Media Installation
by Rowan Vermeulen
A preserved skull rests at the center of a lush botanical altar — surrounded by moss, bracket fungi, seed pods, dried florals, and mineral accents. Encased within an ornate vintage frame, the piece bridges natural history and sacred object.
This work explores preservation, reverence, and the quiet beauty of what remains. Organic materials are layered to echo forest decay and regrowth — life continuing around bone.
Each element has been intentionally placed to create movement and depth, transforming the specimen into a dimensional wall installation rather than a mounted skull.
• Genuine ethically sourced skull
• Real preserved moss and fungi
• Dried botanicals and natural elements
• Vintage ornate frame
• Sealed and secured for display
• One-of-one original work
Ready to hang.
