by Ali Bakova Memento Mori, from the Latin ‘Remember you will die’, is less a doom-laden prophecy, but instead an inducement to live every day to the full, as if it might be your last. Distinguished by its striking gold coating enhancing the bottom, this NUDE Memento Mori sculpture introduces a luxe theme to the range of skull-shaped ornaments. Created by the Istanbul-based designer, Ali Bakova, and forged from clear crystalline glass, it’s a contemporary statement crafted from a traditional material.
