BEYOND EPILOGUE

Often treated as the abode of the dead, the crematoriums lurk behind the gloom, cold and numbness of death itself. While they signify the end to some, they ignite the hope of healing and new beginnings for many others. It helps us to look beyond the darkness and tread towards the ray of hope. "Beyond Epilogue" marks the initiations of these new beginnings.

Zhoohui, is a public park-like where only the people who lost their loved ones use as a cemetery. It provides privacy by lowering the ground and creating a new space down the trees. Every tree has a role as a tombstone. But one tree can belong to many people. Human bodies are transformed by being sperated to their molecules and this does not need any place.
