This is a tiny Swarovski multi-coloured strass-studded real french bulldog skull which I called "For The Love of Dog" (2020). It obviously refers to most famous and greatly expansive Damien Hirst's "For the love of God": it represents its "poor" or "ironical" version. In this case I created a sort of mausoleum which puts together the life and death of the animal. The black and white photos collages of the dogs symbolize their earlier life, whose colours are captured by the multi-coloured skull that perpetuates them in the afterlife.
