The painting takes a different stance on the vanitas theme and uses the sense of impermanence and fragility to express the traditional "memento mori" motif, but without skulls, candles or hour glasses. Here we see a few mementos grouped to form a striking composition: delicate silks and a blue glass vase with a fresh cutting positioned atop paper journals. All of them represented something fragile and impermanent, attached to past events and faded memories.
