Memento Mori is a journey into the fleeting moment of death by reflecting on the fragility of identity, memory, and perception. It is a passage without a when or where in which the “self”dissolves and becomes inseparable from the echoes of the lives and stories of all who have come before. Rooted in the ancient adage “Remember that you must die,” the series reframes death not as an end but as a transformation. It invites the viewer to step into a liminal space where materiality fractures, then coalesces into something larger and unknowable.

Presented as fragments, the images form a non-linear narrative with a visual language that evokes the fractured and hallucinatory nature of memory. Forms emerge and fade like fleeting thoughts, textures break into abstraction and shadows deepen into voids. Each photograph becomes an artifact of forgetting—imbued with the sensation of something already fading.

At its core, Memento Mori challenges the idea of identity as a fixed construct by showing the individual mind merging into a river of consciousness where memories, dreams and experiences flow together, blurring the lines between presence and absence, the real and the imagined, the personal and the universal.

This interplay of identities unfolds as a quiet reckoning: the “self” is but a glimmer in an endless shared stream of being. Rather than offering resolution, the work invites viewers to confront this liminal space—a realm where endings dissolve into beginnings, where grief, wonder, unease, and solace intermingle. It does not seek understanding but surrender, encouraging us to inhabit the paradox of impermanence: the end as a return to connection, the dissolution of self as an act of belonging.
