The loss of a loved one or someone significant has always been an emotional impact on a person. Therefore, throughout millennia keeping mementos tied to the existence of the person lost has been an ongoing tradition amongst humankind.
In many cultures and beliefs, the practice creates a bond between the living and those lost. Channeling our “ancestors” to guide and lead us at times of pain, at times of despair, at times of celebration. The Memento series is the documentation of this. Tying the past to present. The bonds we create between loved ones are never truly forgotten at their passing. That we are humans hold onto the essence of a loved one and their memory. It is a way to keep us grounded, a way to remember to keep them alive, and why we should always remember to live.
