philosophy – symbols of eternity

lifestyle but no deathstyle all imaginable aspects of life are stylized through and through, but the end is still a taboo. only rarely is it pronounced that this sector’s criteria for aesthetic quality are underdeveloped. why should the basic human need for beauty be denied precisely in this existential matter?

the end is near the culture of death is already in transformation: urns are a trend. this is not only an irrational decision of some individuals; rather it also has to do with a change within the social fabric. in densely populated urban areas, environmental regulations have become stricter, for instance, to keep the ground water pure.

preferably before we are dead the time has come to challenge this production sector with a new, more sophisticated aesthetic. as an artist, I would like to create space for new aesthetic experiences within social discourses. exactly through aesthetics, a door can be opened and the alienation can be dismantled. design culture is stimulated in a tabooed sector and dying can be seen in a different light.
