A sepia-toned, stylized graphic design. A skull, wearing spectacles and adorned with bird wings, is centrally positioned. Two open-blade books, similar to kitchen knives, and an hourglass are crossing in front of and around it. The image has a surreal, dramatic, and slightly disturbing aesthetic. The background is a dark, rich sepia tone with radiating, diagonal lines, creating depth and visual interest. Painterly splatters of faded ink spots embellish the image. The colors are limited to dark sepia, gray, and light sepia tones. The style of the image is collage-inspired, not hyperrealistic, but meticulous in its detail. The skull and bird wings show detailed structure and the knives and hourglass are clearly visible. The overall composition is complex and layered. A sense of mortality and temporality is strongly implied.
