About Memento Mori
Memento Mori is a cinematic concept album that chronicles the emotional journey of Ali, a young man navigating love, loss, and transformation amidst the chaos of betrayal. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Metro Manila, the story unfolds like a film, delving deep into themes of passion, heartbreak, depression, addiction, and rebirth.
Memento mori (Latin for "remember (that you have) to die") is an artistic symbol or trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death. The concept has its roots in the philosophers of classical antiquity and Christianity, and appeared in funerary art and architecture from the medieval period onwards.
The most common motif is a skull, often accompanied by bones. Often, this alone is enough to evoke the trope, but other motifs include the ouroboros snake symbol, a coffin, hourglass, or wilting flowers to signify the impermanence of life.
