Maxim Velcovsky – Memento Mori
The macabre Czech masterpiece known as the Sedlec Ossuary is one of twelve World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic. It contains approximately of between 40,000 to 70,000 skeletons whose bones were artistically arranged by Frantisek Rint to form chapel decorations in 1870. Maxim Velcovsky pays homage to Rint’s actual bone chandeliers by imprinting their shapes into a glass form. The Latin phrase Memento Mori, reminding us to ‘remember death,’ became the essence of this object. It symbolizes birth and death as well as the disappearing crafts that are passed from generation to generation in Europe.
