Memento Mori #1

Memento Mori #1 depicts a typical London corner at dusk—a café interior illuminated, people gathering inside, and an urban fox moving through the quiet street. It captures a moment of everyday life, just as the day begins to fade.

The painting combines pictorial detail with sculptural depth, encouraging the viewer to engage from multiple angles. Areas of the surface appear unfinished or in flux, suggesting disintegration or erosion. As the viewer moves, the space visually expands and contracts, opening and closing in response to bodily perception. This instability reflects on the transient nature of experience, inviting reflection on how we perceive time, place, and presence.

About this series

This series explores impermanence and mortality as inescapable conditions of life. Each work depicts familiar public settings—cafés, street corners, local shops—where people engage in quiet, everyday routines. By pixelating the faces of humans, animals, and other living beings, I highlight the shared fate that unites us beyond identity: all life is finite.

“Memento Mori” invites viewers to consider mortality not as a dramatic or distant concept, but as a quiet undercurrent within the ordinary. Future pieces in the series will alternate between scenes in the UK and Colombia, tracing a universal thread through culturally distinct landscapes.
