Memento Meri, a pun on memento mori, is something I imagined in 2021. It was meant to be a blog, a sketchbook, a collage, a project—a commonplace—for all the things that remind me that I am alive. The title is based on my childhood nickname Meri, and my love for my favorite artistic trope.

Here is an introduction to me: I’m an art-studying, ice cream-loving, plant-parenting, book-reading, Muppet-adoring, pasta-eating, Pokémon-playing, silly-goosing Aries.
