Is that R.W. Emerson or some other reference? You have captured the sense of 'still life' and even hung the bowl of fruit variety on the wall. The detail is impressive, the funeral art with that skull, the dutch reference. I feel the senselessness of life, the search for something transcendental (do you need 'like'?). Nice work incorporation of the art movement theme throughout the piece.

Ralph Waldo, yes. Thanks for the comments. Might not even need "transcendental" w/the Emerson reference. In any case, would have to reconstruct w/o "like"....Will mull that.
