In memento mori novies, small, square photographs of the artist's former cat are superimposed over atmospheric, floral, and landscape photographs. These embedded images are pops of color that float over black-and-white fields. The title – remember to die nine times – plays off memento mori, a symbolic reminder of death with roots in classical antiquity and Christianity. The embedded lighthearted images cycle the work between grief and transformation, endurance and ending.
