Lliam Gammon Hello, the name’s Lliam Gammon, who is a freshman at Lindenwood University. The piece presented before you is named “The Circle of Life.” The skull represents death; it’s cold, hard, and a big pill to swallow throughout the fragile life we live. The flower full of life and color is representing how as life comes to an end new life begins. Like in the poems by Robert Frost, we become the grass, trees and flowers we pass by as we walk through our days. Art, as Lliam believes, is about a bigger picture, with meanings hidden inside the ink that fills the page, each line telling a different story.
