Reflections on the transparency of the idea of death and mourning as a society. This urn presents you ashes that you might has prefered to celebrate metaphorically rather than through its lifeless colors contained in such a meaningless plastic bag. Grieving is something that can be experienced alone, as well as shared, but we all experience it through our own personal lens - it's a matter of perspective. Grief evokes powerful emotions, but the idea that our grief is unique and insurmountable is absurd as well as valid, given that all human beings will go through grief and death.
