life ring grave

by adrian zamora zamora from mexico

designer's own words:

The strength of a tree depends on its age, each ring of the trunk represents one more year of existence. The nostalgia of losing someone invites us to remember his strength forever.
"Life ring" represents an abstraction, a coexistence between nature and the beautifully nostalgia of a graveyard, the particular shape of the grave invites us to create an exotic landscape i immortalizing your beloved one by the hand of a tree which will be placed in the center of the ring and will grow as a memorial to the deceased.
Life ring is crafted in ceramics as well as LED lamps that illuminate at night like the street lighting of the graveyard.
