Vanitas (from Latin, “vanity”), in art, a genre of still-life painting flourished in Netherlands in early 17th century. Symbolic of inevitability of death and transience and vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures; it exhorts viewer to consider mortality and to repent. 🤡
Vase of Flowers, c. 1660
By JAN DAVIDSZ DE HEEM

"Memento mori (rememeber that you will die) images are counterbalanced by the wheat stalks symbolizing the Eucharist, and by the caterpillar and butterfly on the white poppy, which evoke redemption and resurrection."

17 (17th Century)

The “golden age” of still-life painting occurred in the Lowlands during the 17th century. English term still life derives from the Dutch word stilleven while Romance languages tend to use terms meaning dead nature.

In connection, we all know what Beomgyu represents and poppies are seen in the painting which produces opium, the character of mortal sin of laziness.

Still life usually coveys, judgments, repentance, death and resurrection. Like a butterfly, cycle of life or reincarnation.
Reflecting on the plot of +U, it is mainly revolving on what's wrong, realization, repenting, death and resurrection. In revamping friendship, in life and even in sum religion (thise who believes in eternal life or reincarnation) we all undergo the same process.
