Memento Mori - A Latin phrase meaning ‘remember (that you have) to die’. An artistic or symbolic reminder of death with the aim of encouraging the viewer to make the most of this life.

Memento Mori is a series of black and white photographs taken during the lockdown of 2020 in the overgrown graveyards of medieval churches in Sussex. Alongside the images you will find carefully considered text printed and bound in an A5 zine. Rather than a morbid meditation on death Memento Mori is about cherishing life; it urges us to live courageously, passionately and with purpose - whatever that means for you. In the words of Seneca, the stoic philosopher;

“ … we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it. Life is long if you know how to use it.”

Seneca - On the Shortness of Life
