All is Vanity

col·lage
noun
 /kəˈläZH/  /kô-/  /kō-/ 

collages, plural
  1. A form of art in which various materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric are arranged and stuck to a backing
  2. A composition made in this way
  3. A combination or collection of various things


I decided to start this post with a definition, followed by a piece of art, because I felt it was necessary to explain, while not explaining with my own words, that collages aren't necessarily always pieces of work that look like it thrown together without careful thought. I have loved mixed media art for a long time, more so when they've been executed well. I came across this particular deviantART user, mathiole, and found that every single mixed media piece they've created was wonderfully executed and the attention to detail was spectacular.
