Memento Mori - Remember that you will die Wooden Box Sign
In Meditations Marcus Aurelius wrote "You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think." That was a personal reminder to continue living a life of virtue NOW, and not wait. The French painter Philippe de Champaigne expressed a similar sentiment in his painting "Still Life with a Skull," which showed the three essentials of existence - the tulip (life), the skull (death), and the hourglass (time). The original painting is part of a genre referred to as Vanitas, a form of 17th century artwork featuring symbols of mortality which encourage reflection on the meaning and fleetingness of life. A memento mori (Latin 'remember that you must die') is an artistic or symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death. The expression 'memento mori' developed with the growth of Christianity, which emphasized Heaven, Hell, and salvation of the soul in the afterlife.

Creator Review
I am so absolutely beyond thrilled! I'm Lori Blevins the owner/artist/designer of Art of Allowing. I ordered this 8" x 6" rustic wood box in distressed white featuring my hummingbird watercolor painting so that I could see how my design would look on these rustic boxes. I could not be more thrilled with how well my painting transferred over to the rustic wood box. The finished product far exceeded my expectations! The image displayed on the wooden box is crystal clear, vibrantly colorful and the box itself is simple yet professionally constructed. I am so excited to offer these rustic wood box signs as gift options in my Zazzle stores! Thank you Zazzle for offering yet another fabulous unique gift option for me to use in both displaying/selling my artwork! I could not be more thrilled with how well my painting transferred over to the rustic wood box. The finished product far exceeded my expectations! The image displayed on the wooden box is crystal clear, vibrantly colorful and the box itself is simple yet professionally constructed. This is a fabulous way for designers to uniquely showcase their art!
