The project concept derives from the simple question: “What do you think of death?” Death commonly strikes fear, yet how one perceives and handles a person’s death can be quite different across cultures. Some cultures view death as a final end, with nothing occurred after their death; others believe in a continuous interactions between the deceased and the living ones.

​

Inspired mainly by the Eastern cultural belief, this project reflects the viewpoint of the Eastern cultural and religious values based on the premises that a large population of Eastern cultures perceive death as a natural and essential factor in one’s life.
