Memento Mori- remember you must die. Something we all fear: death. We believe what we leave behind will be our creations and the impact on others. With the rise of A.I. in art, we feel as if creativity is dying and we have lost what started as our only form of expression: art. But this is no Memento Mori. We can explore where art comes from and how it can never be taken away. Our art will never die.
