BEYOND THE COFFIN

After birth, the second most significant event in life is death. And, yet, across cultures, our relationship with death is often characterized by avoidance and denial. I asked myself, why isn't death embraced with the same natural and graceful attitude as birth? Why can't we perceive it in a more positive light and reimagine its rituals to reveal our true essence rather than concealing it? This is how Project Womb was born.

I believe the only true legacy anybody leaves behind is the story of his or her life. Usually, the telling of this story is left to friends and family. The more celebrated ones amongst us are at the mercy of media. That’s a lot of different versions of our life story. And we don’t have a say in any one of them. Until now.

The Aesthetics of After Life

The Womb provides the reassurance that your story is conveyed in your own words, through pictures and videos, and can be shared with the world.

It serves as a repository for impressions and memories that you can document and update throughout your lifetime. This collection of personal insights and experiences can serve as an enduring source of inspiration for future generations.

I aspire to redefine not only how the story is told but also how it's presented. I perceive traditional rectangular caskets as unnatural and unwelcoming. In my view, The Womb offers a design that aligns with the harmony of life and nature. Essentially, The Womb serves as a media-driven time capsule, ensuring that your life story endures.
