The Memento Mori Collection explores death and the unknown using moths with skeletal patterns against the night sky.
Symbolism: Moths remind us to trust our transformational process, honor the night, and seek the light in dark places, opening our eyes to the ephemeral beauty and freedom on the other side of change. The moon and clouds remind us to notice the impermanent, cyclic nature of reality.
This poem is based on the titles of the paintings in this collection:
Beyond the patterns
and silvered voices
longing, grasping
Beyond the lanterns
and moonlit choices
reaching, asking
We glow, then go...
dissolve into something
we can't know
I dreamt of death
when I was still small
exhaled my breath
and floated far
up to a void full of
metronome stars
