Raven George | Dance of Death

Dance of Death is a haunting yet tender reflection on the fragility of childhood in a world where innocence is stolen. Inspired by the Dance of Macabre, it features children dancing hand in hand with child skeletons—symbols of those lost to war, famine, and violence. Children, adorned with hats representing their homeland, stand as a beacon of light, a testament to resilience in the face of darkness. At the heart of the scene, a baby skeleton wearing a Kuba, sets the rhythm for the dance. The music, both a celebration and a lament, connects the living and departed, blurring the line between joy and grief. Dance of Death is not just a mourning of loss but an urgent call to remember, protect, and honor the lives of children.
