In Garden Skull, Gulec employs a dense arrangement of floral headpieces and botanical shapes to define the hollows and ridges of a human skull. The work plays with volumetric form, using the density of the patterns to create a sense of three-dimensional depth within the portrait frame. It is a study of how light and dark tones can emerge from the layering of petals and leaves, turning a symbol of mortality into a vibrant garden.

This piece invites an introspective journey into the relationship between humanity and nature. By replacing bone with blossoms, the artist engages in a symbolic exploration of renewal and decay. The contrast between the stark subject matter and the soft, blooming floral fields suggests that even in stillness, there is a constant, revitalizing energy at work.
