"Memento mori" is a Latin phrase meaning "Remember that you must die". As a philosophical reminder of the inevitability of death and the transient nature of life, it has a rich history intertwined with art, spirituality and mysticism.

Skulls and bone imagery are universal tropes that have pervaded art, literature, and religious practices across diverse cultures throughout history. They transcend cultural and temporal boundaries, reminding us of our common mortality, the impermanence of life and the urgency to be fully present - right here and now - in this precious instance of being.

I feel honoured to have added my small contribution to this oeuvre, as I am opened ever wider to all the ancestral work and blessings that the contemplation of such imagery brings.

"Death is close enough at hand so we do not need to be afraid of life"
- Friedrich Nietzsche
