In “Memento Mori,” weathered rock, resilient desert brush, and a soft sky come together as a quiet reminder of time’s passing. The photograph reflects a traditional monastic awareness of mortality, rendered through the enduring forms of the landscape. It’s a contemplative piece that often becomes a subtle conversation starter.

Complimentary standard shipping within the contiguous United States and Washington, DC, framed or unframed. The largest framed sizes ship by freight and are quoted individually. For Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, military (APO/FPO/DPO) or international destinations, please contact the studio before ordering.
Made to order
Museum Framing adds production time: please allow up to 10 weeks for printing, signing and framing before your artwork ships. If you need the work by a particular date, please contact the studio before ordering. Framed works ship fully assembled, with tracking, to addresses within the contiguous United States and Washington, DC; the largest framed sizes ship by freight, quoted individually. You will receive an email with a tracking number once it has shipped.
Caring for a framed print
Display away from direct, prolonged sunlight when possible. Clean the acrylic with a soft microfiber cloth and a household glass cleaner; do not use acrylic cleaners or polishing agents.
Made to order
Each print is made, inspected, signed and numbered before it ships. Please allow up to 3 weeks. Unframed prints are carefully packaged according to their size and materials. Larger prints may be shipped rolled in protective packaging. You will receive an email with a tracking number once it is on its way.
Caring for an unframed print
Handle the print by its edges, ideally with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves, and keep it in its protective packaging until framing. Store it flat, or as shipped, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. When framing, use acid-free, archival materials and UV-protective glazing.
