A crematorium placed within the trash. The idea finds itself being very problematic. Are we mere dust to an earth biome or are we situated for something more? But is trash just waste or is there a beauty within the process of its life cycle? Historically our disgust towards identifying bodies to trash limits our understanding of the complexities hidden within our self’s. We are not just machines; we have a sensibility and compassion that strives for our well-being.
Life cycles have an interesting relation to waste to energy structure as it dictates growth via population and energy, and facilitates new beginnings and economic efficiency. Learning about this process in China, we found death a way for people to spiritually come together and be one with the divine proposing that the waste to energy process can aide to the ideas.
