LA MER — a memento mori

LA MER — a memento mori; but rather than being a reminder of the inevitability of death, LA MER its intended to remind us of beauty; the beauty of everyday life that we often miss and ignore. Designed based on, hence the title LA MER, the colour blue is constantly used throughout the design to invoke a picturesque atmosphere of the sea.

A set of prints, titled memento mori, is produced alongside the publication and printed with the cyanotype technique, an analog printing technique which incorporates the use of water in its process. These prints act as the more straightforward reminder to us all to the briefness of life, with images such as obituaries and dirt to represent death.
