And the rest is rust and stardust.

Hope Ezcurra is a self taught artist with a focus on environmental and death positive themes.
The vast majority of her artwork is memento mori (Latin: remember you must die). She is drawn to creating macabre imagery because of its universality. The imagery is meant to evoke that sense of being small and large at the same time. Her artwork speaks to the terminal elegance of life and fragility of nature. Entropy and death is both what links all life together and tears it apart. In her artwork the cadaverous represents a connection to something larger, like staring up at the stars at night. Her artwork is a reminder of the dust that we came from and will eventually return to.
Her curatorial projects and art work are a love letter to the rust and stardust in all of us.
