Temporary ‘NOW’ sculpture sign, by graphic artist Francis Kenney. Constructed from plywood, wood, exterior satin paint, water weights and cushions.

All is temporary.
Some Buddhist perspectives suggest that the concepts of past, present, and future are ultimately mental constructs and that the only true reality is the present moment. This giant temporary sign urges us to fully inhabit the present, rather than being caught up in the illusion of time.

Vanitas - I to X is a series of ten modern memento mori pictures, by Graphic Fine Artist Francis Kenney

Symbolic vanitas pictures were popular in the 17th century, serving to remind the viewer of their mortality in a religious age when almost everyone believed that life on earth was merely a preparation for the afterlife. 

I'm not so sure about the after life, so best enjoy it all now and laugh through the tears. They are intended as a jolly jolt to remind me of my mortality.
Alongside traditional vanitas items like rotting fruit and candles, the party hats and the clown noses and smile are a reminder to me to turn up the frown and have a good time while it lasts as the end could be just around the corner.
