Memento Vivere Ring

I like to create a design that brings with it a story, a message, and the story of this ring born with the famous quote “Memento Mori” remember you will die. When a general came to the city after a military triumph and parading in the streets picking up the honors that were bestowed by the crowd, it was in danger of being overwhelmed by pride and by the longings of magnitude. To prevent that from happening, so someone spoke to him the phrase: “Respice post you. Hominem te memento” (Look behind you. Remember that you are a man). So I decided to create a ring that bore the opposite meaning “Memento Vivere” remember that you are still alive, and despite the bad beats of life you can still win. I choose this particular design because I was inspired by the culture and symbolism of the Mexican day of the dead, as the skull with snakes means Man’s ability to utilize the power available to him to overcome difficulties.
