Death and Landscape
Luke Steel
Death is used to generate dense landscape conditions onsite. Each deceased is designated a light in the field that remains illuminated for one year. Power is generated in a Microbial Fuel Cell using the organic matter of the body. This cycle is succinct with the human grieving process. After one year has elapsed the light diminishes, signifying the end of the process. A small amount of compostable remains are then used as the basis of new life in the plantation. Although the cycle is complete, the memory of the deceased always lives on and mourners can always revisit the tree where the deceased is situated.
