6Astral goat soaps

Along with her collection, you can also get astral goat soaps. Gorgos loves funeral art reflecting the vanitas style of the Renaissance and Memento Mori. Memento Mori is the Medieval Latin Christian theory of reflecting on the subject of mortality in order to consider the vanity of material life and the pursuit of earthly goods.

7What Gorgos says

As Gorgos says “Both motifs are representative of impermanence and, philosophically, are a call to reflect not just on mortality but where we place value (earthly pleasures, amounting possessions, and ego)” Gorgos wanted to capture the classic art style along with the message behind it. Soaping reflected the essence of the art precisely as nothing lasts forever.

Gorgos was introduced to the process of soaping by a friend and was totally taken up with the alchemy of the process. She took on the skull-shaped soaps project as an artistic challenge for herself.
