after the rain

design for death

after the rain

by aya kishi from japan

designer's own words:

the short listed entry by japanese design aya kishi re-interprets the meaning of a memorial in 'after the rain' by incorporating a series of optical prisms into the centres of tombstones, which as a result, create a spectrum of light on the ground where the grave would be situated. influenced by rainy days and the grieving process, the project takes these elements and translates them into a visual  intervention, helping ease the pain and suffering after losing a loved one.
