Robert Lord ’18 (Piedmont, Calif.) created this impromptu still life with fellow Farm House residents one night while they were making dinner. “We noticed how picturesque the food looked sitting on the cutting board. So we added more food and items from around the house until we got this picture,” Lord says. “To me, the fruit represents a beautiful thing that will nevertheless decay over time, and the skull represents death. No matter how much of a cornucopia we have in our lives today, all things end in mold and ruin, and we must accept that.”
