Momento Mori 001

12” x 4” x 5”
copper, stone & wood

Three skeletons pull at a copper figure from every angle. He does not go down. Memento mori, Latin for “remember that you will die,” used not as a morbid fixation but as a prompt to live with intention, made literal and made physical. Death is not coming for him someday. It is here, hands on him, but he is still standing defiantly. That is the whole point.

The sculpture sits on a hand-finished, oil-rubbed walnut base with a custom copper stand. A small copper nameplate on the stand displays K Perrault and the year.
