What is Memento Mori?
Memento mori refers to
a wide range of elements in art with the purpose of reminding the audience of their own eventual death.
It may be the theme or an entire piece, or it may be a small element, such as a diminutive skull in the corner of a painting. In Latin, the phrase means "Remember you are mortal."
