Introducing the Memento Mori Playing Cards – a deck designed to evoke the timeless reminder of mortality. Inspired by the medieval Latin practice of reflecting on life’s impermanence, this deck symbolizes the fragility of existence in both its design and meaning.
The low-poly design reflects the foundation of 3D graphic art, representing the simplicity of creation, much like the beginning of 'virtual' life. Each card serves as a minimalist yet powerful statement, reminding us of the bare essentials of existence.
Historically, playing cards have carried deeper meanings—each suit representing a season, each card a phase of the moon, and the full deck symbolizing the fifty-two weeks of a year, echoing the passage of time and the brevity of life.
This deck is more than just a tool for play; it’s a memento of our fleeting time on earth. As Chris Ramsay says, "This deck is my Memento Mori."
A perfect addition for collectors or those seeking a deeper connection with the symbolism of life and death.
