The Memento Mori collection draws inspiration from an exhibition with the same title by Coco Capitán. Exploring the transient nature of life, through the ancient concept of Memento mori (latin for remember death). A reminder of the inevitability of death.

Shifting the narrative around mortality, turning the awareness of death into a means to inspire a more mindful, present approach to life, living fully in the now. Capitán’s aphorisms for this collection help us reimagine death as a motivator - a force that heightens awareness of the fragility and value of life and encourages reflection on the notion that by accepting our eventual end, we are better equipped to live with purpose and appreciate the fleeting moments that often pass unnoticed.  Rather than focusing on despair, the pieces celebrate the beauty of life’s brevity and the empowerment that comes from embracing it. Memento Mori offers death not as a conclusion, but as a powerful reminder to fully engage with the present. In remembering our mortality, Capitán suggests, we rediscover the profound meaning of life.
