Cliche Life - Diamonds Are - 1643, delivers a playful twist on luxury and value. A cluster of candy coloured jelly baby figures is arranged like precious jewels inside a sharply cut crystal bowl, itself shaped like a massive diamond. The result is both glamorous and quietly satirical, an ode to kitsch, collectability, and what we choose to elevate.
Part of Raymond Mather’s Cliché Life series, this photograph gleams with wit and reflection. It playfully reframes “preciousness”, not as carats, but as character, colour, and collective charm. Presented as a limited edition fine art print on museum grade archival paper, Diamonds Are 1643 invites viewers to reconsider what truly sparkles.
