MEMENTO MORI 2 (2022) – 60 CM X 40 CM – ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS
Based on the modern (blue background) UK organ donor card design, the painting is a reminder of the importance of organ donors in the lives of those in need of transplants and also reminds the viewer that we are all mortal beings. I have been a kidney transplant recipient twice, once via a deceased donor, and once via a living donor.
Memento Mori is a Latin phrase that roughly translates to ‘Remember your mortality’. This phrase has far from morbid intentions as it aims to enable people to be grateful for their lives and live their lives to the fullest.
