The Positive Symbolism of Skulls: Memento Mori
“Memento Mori” is a Latin phrase meaning “Remember that you will die.” This concept has been a part of various cultures for centuries, often represented in art, literature, and philosophy. It serves as a reminder to live a life of purpose, awareness, and intentionality. The skull, a central element in Memento Mori art, symbolizes the inevitability of death, encouraging us to reflect on our lives and make the most of the time we have.

The Memento Mori collection aims to bring us back to our core, urging us to focus on personal growth, meaningful connections, and the pursuit of our true passions.
