_ 1 LANDSCAPE with four burials

Flower burial

Maybe it is boundless, on the angle you watch it. It changes follow the four seasons. Time to give it wholeness, here give it another meaning of wholeness.

Stone burial

It was part from here, it`s always belonged here, anonymous, be named, interpretations of various characters, an immutable state, itself on the creation of a wholeness.

Tree burial

It`s growing slowly, but gentlely, the annular growing tells time. It`s touched by the first sunlight, the air flow through. It contains unit and whoeness simultaneously.

Wall burial

It likes the weaver, its sister is garden besides it. What is walling in or walling out, following the ridge, containing every fragment, indicating the wholeness.

_ 2 HOUSES

House for the Dead

The finality of death is through its equality like an empty space, and as a silence in which no sound is heard, or softened as a silence which nothing disturbs. (Søren Kierkegaard)

House for Mourners

To symbolize the equality we share in death to take the conduct of our daily lives with that communal consciousness.

HOUSE FOR MOURNERS

wateryard of house for mourners
The noise of death is the whispers in other rooms, the mirrors of a house are covered by Death.
Flowers have two purposes, to sweeten life and death.
Heat rises in a house in order to return to mother sun.
The bed promises future joys and remembers past sorrows.
Death stays inside and out simultaneously.
Flowered wallpaper within a house makes the house feel an unease.
Skylights are built for winter flowers, which Death cultivates.
