'Light After Death' (2019-2023) reimagines death as a positive, vibrant experience. Traditional hunting trophies, skulls paired with custom neon horns, become contemporary symbols of our estrangement from nature, mixing the somberness of death with neon's lively glow. This fusion of natural and artificial, rural and urban, old and new, challenges temporal boundaries and hints at life's cyclical nature. Tiziano's pieces, varying from mournful to peaceful to confrontational, prompt contemplation on our death relationship. Contrary to Western cultures that often render death invisible and taboo, Tiziano's 'Memento Mori' seeks to recast death as enlightening, urging awareness of life's transience to truly value life, one must confront death.
