The Gravestone Project

Made from 100% polypropylene, this gravestone asks questions about our complex relationship with plastic. We love the convenience it offers yet despise how it is polluting the planet.

The piece that sits at the intersection of being functional and purely conceptual. It frees plastic from its utilitarian duty, opening up discussions on what plastic means in our life (and death).
The project started as a contemplation of plastic's persistence, when I found a connection to the human mortality. The provocation encourages people to rethink their values and beliefs as a way overcome complex issues such as plastic pollution.
