A series of artworks inspired by 17th-century Vanitas paintings, known for their rich iconography and encouragement of reflection on life's important aspects. In this series, I explore the expressions “Memento Mori” and “Memento Vivere.” The "Memento Mori" pieces address our society issues such as our disconnection from nature and each other, superficiality, and addiction to technology. In contrast, the "Memento Vivere" works focus on envisioning a life centred on what truly matters.
