Memory/Reliquary by Simona K from slovak republic

We would live a relieved life if we were to never expect the end of it. Scope of my work was to create an urn that will serve not only as a repository for ash. Normally sold urns lack personal and emotional character, also their design is not always worthy of depositing of such important thing as the remains of a loved one. I was inspired by the purity, fragility and futility. I worked with glass, blown into wooden molds. Glass was then sanded and decorated by sandblasting. The urn is composed of four parts and besides the section for ash it contains reliquary to store physical memory - ring, necklace.. I tried to uplift the funeral design to a higher level and provide it sensibility, prestige and honor. The urn is manufacturable in several variants and it's possible to approach every client individually.
