The brief
‘For centuries, death has cast a long shadow, shrouded in darkness and unspoken taboos. Though time continues to move, it remains a word tiptoed around, a ghost at the family banquet. But what if death wasn’t just an ending, but a catalyst for life?
Imagine a space where mortality isn’t a taboo whisper but a vibrant conversation, where ashes nourish fragrant blooms and laughter mingles with tears celebrating shared memories.
