In Memento Mori, Sonia and Dakin Roy explore issues of mortality and the way various people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, and demographics deal with death. Through photographs and works on paper, the Roy’s have taken pieces of the past and combined them with the present. Creating new memories and homage’s out of the remnants of those who have come before us. To re-examine, and re-define what it is to be alive and how we choose to remember those that are gone. Sonia and Dakin Roy live and work in Beacon, NY.
