An eternal flame... Just imagine new rituals shaped by our times. This object designed in the image of street lights offers a new way of communicating with the departed.
This totem, inspired by the Egyptian age when the dead began their journey with their favourite possessions, includes a screen emitting images or music that were dear to the deceased, completed by an eternal flame powered by solar collectors.
An urban initiative… Cemeteries are rarely visited nowadays; these under-used green spaces may once again become meeting and activity areas, even after dark.
