Skulls are generally lifeless pieces, but the way Benjamin puts so much life into rest of his work I feel like these are living people who are just missing the skin on their skulls. There's a recurring theme on Benjamin's site of either skinless skull people or "invisible" people. They're all excellent works and I'm glad that we got to share these with all of the flesh wearers. Thanks, Benjamin!

If I had a skinless skull, I wouldn't have to worry about tanning or burning too dark. Sun bleaches bone.
