Skulls represent life, death, impermanence, defiance, transformation, rebellion against social norms, strength, warrior traditions, immortality and the human experience. They are also a great reminder or memento mori- an object kept as a reminder of the invisibility of death, such as a skull. The origin of the Latin term Memento Mori literally means- 'remember (that you have) to die.'
