Omnia Vanitas Patch

Omnia Vanitas Embroidered Patch

A Wearable Reminder of What Truly Matters

This patch isn’t just decoration—it’s a symbol. A meditation. A quiet challenge to live with perspective.

At its center:

• The Skull – A Memento Mori, reminding us of life’s impermanence.

• The Crown – A commentary on the futility of vanity and worldly power.

• The Checkerboard Background – A nod to the constant inner and outer battle between good and evil.

• The Winged Hourglass Crest – Tempus Fugit (“Time flies”), reminding us to do good while we still can.

• The Motto: "Omnia Vanitas" – Latin for “All is vanity,” from Ecclesiastes 1:2:
  “Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher. All is vanity.”

This patch is not about judgment—it’s about intention.
A reminder that while we may enjoy the things we own, we must never let them define or control us.

As paraphrased from David Foster Wallace’s This is Water:

Worship money, and you’ll never feel you have enough.
Worship beauty, and you’ll always feel ugly.
Worship power, and you’ll be afraid.
Worship intellect, and you’ll fear being exposed.

But worship God, serve others, and you’ll find peace and fulfillment growing with every act.

And as voiced in Logic’s AfricAryan:

You are not your salary. Not your house. Not your car.
And no matter the size of your bank account,
your grave is six feet deep like everyone else’s.

Live fully. Live freely. Live now.
