Memento Mori Series
© J.P. Bell
The “Memento Mori Series” invites viewers to reflect on the profound essence of spiritual death and rebirth, emphasising that life’s impermanence urges us to live fully. Each piece captures the duality of existence, where death is not an end, but a passage to a renewed self. This series serves as a visual reminder to cherish every fleeting moment while embracing the cyclical nature of life and death.
