Our Eternal Body

Life is circular and interconnected, transforming from one body to another. Living organisms, we are bound to the eternal cycle of change. From body to ash, ash to soil, soil to earth.

The project established the connection between the material of earth; clay, where is represented as a metaphor by using the container as a symbol for the body. At the same time, it implies how our body can literally enter the realm of clay in the form of dust. The distance between our bodies and the clay now starts to dissolve as we one day will turn into dust.
