Memento Mori 

Allison Reimold’s "Memento Mori" is a striking, surrealist portrait of a woman in a blue dress, seated on a rock, with a skeletal figure hovering behind her. The skeletal figure is a visual metaphor for death, and the woman's composure and the peaceful setting suggest a sense of acceptance. The title "Memento Mori," meaning "Remember that you will die," reinforces the artwork's poignant contemplation of mortality and the passage of time. The woman’s gaze and her delicate fingers holding a bouquet of flowers add a sense of vulnerability and fragility to the image, underscoring the inevitability of death. This work evokes a thoughtful and perhaps even slightly unsettling atmosphere, prompting viewers to reflect on their own mortality.
