Throughout history, the burial ritual has been understood as crucial for preserving the memory of the deceased and simultaneously represents the final act of farewell. In my work, the burial ritual becomes a pivotal passage for expressing the collective vision of memory. Society's inherent tendency to quickly bury even precious events under layers of words and actions is highlighted. Collective memory is thus lost, concealed in a brutal ritual that, in the end, makes room for the ultimate action.
