Memento Mori, Spring is a reminder that life is temporary, which makes finding and appreciating happiness along the way even more important. Memento mori is a Latin phrase meaning “remember you must die.” In Frank’s outstretched hand, a bird’s nest holds a collection of delicate eggs, representing new life and the possibility of what is yet to come. A chickadee approaches the nest, adding a sense of movement, hope, and renewal. In his other hand, Frank holds a cluster of purple crocuses, some of the first flowers to appear after winter. Their ability to push through the cold makes them a symbol of resilience, awakening, and the return of life. Cherry blossoms surround Frank, adding another reminder of how brief and beautiful life can be. Their delicate blooms don’t last long, much like the moments we often wish we could hold onto. Behind Frank’s skull is a mandala-like design of latticework and skulls, bringing together ideas of spirituality, mortality, and the connection between life and death. In the background, constellations representing the first day of spring create a connection between the changing world below and the larger universe above. Memento Mori, Spring brings together death and renewal, reminding us that both are part of the same cycle. Most of all, it is a reminder to enjoy the flowers while they’re blooming—and to find a little happiness wherever we can.
