Memento Mori Signboard
Taphouse

‘Memento Mori’ was commissioned as an adaptation from an existing illustration as the seasonal artwork for the October/November months, around Halloween/Samhain/Day of the Dead. The illustration adapts an iconic archaeological discovery of two intertwined skeletons, known as the Lovers of Valdero, found in Italy in the early 2000s. The adorning details of blooming flowers and seasonal produce create an imagined grave of new life for the skeletons to rest.

Taphouse is a cozy neighborhood pub and restaurant in the south Dublin village of Ranelagh. Their seasonally changing signboard project commissions local artists to illustrate a bespoke design for the front of the restaurant, adding a dynamic and creative element to the visual environment of the main road.
