Memento mori is a Latin phrase that translates to “remember you must die;” a stark reminder that life and existence are ephemeral. This rich artistic tradition is rife with symbolism, of which we have isolated and painted in each of these unique frames.

This miniature still life painting features two wax candles—one lit and one extinguished. Candles represent the inevitable passing of time. An illuminated candle symbolizes truth and knowledge, while an extinguished candle represents death and loss.

Mini vintage-style frame is approx. 4” x 2.5” and is one-of-one. Shipping included.
