About the Artwork:
Memento Amore examines the intersection of love, mortality, and grief through the imagery of a skull within a heart. Rooted in the tradition of memento mori, this piece acknowledges love as an entity that transcends even death. The juxtaposition of the skull, a symbol of finality, and the heart’s enduring vitality reflects the duality of grief: the pain of loss and the persistence of love.
