Memento Mori ATC

"Memento mori" is a Latin phrase translated as "Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die" or "Remember you will die." It names a genre of artistic creations that vary widely from one another, but which all share the same purpose: to remind people of their own mortality. The phrase has a tradition in art that dates back to antiquity.

Memento Mori has been the inspiration for many different genres of art, literature and music from Ancient Rome through our modern era. Most notably we find memento mori in Mexican Day of the Dead art and Victorian mourning art and jewelry. The idea behind this swap is to use Memento Mori as inspiration for your 3 cards. Either Victorian photography or art, Mexican Day of the Dead or Medieval Europe wood cuts whatever inspires you use it to hand draw/paint or Mix Media 3 cards that your partners will love forever!
