Egon Eiermann allegedly once began work on a series of coffins for a Berlin funeral company.
The series was sadly never realised, but we can well imagine in which direction Eiermann would have gone....
On the Farmer's Creativity by Agri-expo Yunlin stand at DMY Berlin 2012 is an object that approaches the subject with a little more agility.
Return by Sa' Bella Design / Sally Lin is an urn.
An urn made of recycled paper, the walls of which are impregnated with seeds.
As the paper disintegrates and the ash mixes with the earth .... the seeds germinate, the flowers grow.
The cycle of life in its beautiful brutality begins anew.
Genius.
