I always love your zines, the juxtaposition of different art form into a coherent experience impress me. They are lovely. The expression "until memento mori" is fascinating. Translated literally, memento mori means "remember to die". So in this context, it could mean "until I remember to die". I know this is probably not what was intended, but if I try to be playful with the text, it would mean that we live until "I" remember to die. Maybe this "I" is the world. Maybe we live until the world remember we are dead. But if the world remember we are dead, we now live in the memory of the world.
death is a complicated concept to me, as well as the concept of memento mori, it reminds me of the cycles we all go through, a certain ego death like experience that makes us remember to return to ourselves often. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, your thoughts are valuable and Im glad you found meaning within my work 💖💖
