Memento Mori

Vita brevis breviter in brevi finietur,
Mors venit velociter quae neminem veretur,
Omnia mors perimit et nulli miseretur.
Ad mortem festinamus peccare desistamus.

Life is short, and shortly it will end;
Death comes quickly and respects no one,
Death destroys everything and takes pity on no one.
To death we are hastening, let us refrain from sinning.

Ni conversus fueris et sicut puer factus
Et vitam mutaveris in meliores actus,
Intrare non poteris regnum Dei beatus.
Ad mortem festinamus peccare desistamus.

If you do not turn back and become like a child,
And change your life for the better,
You will not be able to enter, blessed, the Kingdom of God.
To death we are hastening, let us refrain from sinning.

One Response to “Memento Mori”

  1. Installation ùart Revew:
    Describe: The room was covered with white sheets. Against the wall they projected a picture of candles. In the middle of the room there was a table covered with a white cloth, on top of it was a lit candle. The light was off so the room was dark besides the candle and the projection. A some what sad song was playing.
    Reaction: Wow, the flame looks nice, but is it real? I like the effect it had when it was also projected against the wall and waved around.
    Interpretation: There are many ways to interpret it; however to me I saw it different from what they did. Even in a dark world, there is light that represents light and soon it will spread and light up the world.
    Critique: Like I said before that there are different ways to interpret the installation art. They should have tried to make their concept stand out more so that it would be understood that way better.
