πr2

Circle of life is one’s journey. Occupation of life is one’s meaning. Together, they would make impacts on descendants. πr2 is symbolic of this life-death philosophy. The design images the cemetery as a place where cremated remains would be transformed into the DNA of the plants and become visible again in the form of flowers.

Another Way to Accompany

We apply yarn structure to our design as an innovation. Through this design, we want to convey that : the death of our loved ones doesn't mean the end. They become the air we breathe, the scenery in our eyes, the shade in summer, the fragrant smell and the eternal power in our hearts. Don't be so sad. Their departure is just another way to stay with us.
