Et in Arcadia Ego : Hand painted screen print
"Et in Arcadia Ego" is a very interesting phrase found in art and alchemical history. Its literal meaning "even in Arcadia I", seems either unfinished or intentionally cryptic. Many believe it to read as "even in Arcadia (paradise) death is inevitable", conveying a deep memento mori.
