one wrapping of mortality

designer's own words:
CONCEPT:
One aims to create a different perception of mankind, not as the selfish understanding of discrete entities, but as a whole.
-“Separate yourself from all twoness. Be one in one, one with one, one from one” Meister Eckhart
TECHNOLOGY:
Procedures such as bio-cremation may ensure that converting the remains of the deceased into diamonds is a more eco-friendly process. Because it generates no toxic waste, it minimizes the environmental and spatial impact of cremation and burials.
The TREE:
The tree is one of the most recognizable archetypal imprints known to man. An archetype is an original, primordial image common to all mankind. The archetype of the World Tree, around which the Universe itself revolves, serves as the foundation for this innovative eco-friendly way of approaching deathcare.
The tree, a perpetually regenerating form, represents the absolute connection of every single individual to a bigger entity, regardless of cultural and religious variations.
