The collection discusses the relationship between death, birth and the romance of the life cycle. In today's world of recycling; death and closure seems to be consciously hidden. People focus more on rebirth, but not on the end. Death is often portrayed as a horrible, frightening, cold image. But the life circle of plants inspires me. Plants break out of the ground from little buds, then grow, bloom, and finally die. The plants return to the soil and become the nutrients, nurturing the next new birth. Death is not the end of everything, but a new beginning. I hope that through my project, people can look at death normally, no longer fear it, but welcome it peacefully and positively.
