When Greg Lundgren put out a call asking architects to design an urn, the challenge generated in me a question: Where would I like my ashes to go when I die? So here is a design answer to that question. In essence the urn is an object made of parts that can be shared among people who wish to hold a part of me. These parts are bricks made with bees-wax. In small portion they contain ashes. The sculpture for obvious reason contains bread crumbles. If I were to die tomorrow here is where I wish a part of me to stay:

to my sister AlbaRita
to my sister Luisa
to my sister Piera
to my friend
to my lover
to …

Special Thanks to Greg Lundgren.
