Inspired by 'Coco's poignant line, 'Death is not the end of life, forgetting is', I reflected on the concept of death in life and objects. When does something truly 'die'? With flowers as my muse, symbols laden with societal meanings, I observed their decay and created a unique tribute. Crafting coffins with mirrors and lights, I highlighted the uniformity of their fates, shaped by our perceptions. Each flower received a personalized epitaph, celebrating their existence beyond social constructs. This flower cemetery is my ode to life's inherent beauty, a reminder that life's value lies in its natural essence, not just the meanings we assign.
