ANIMA

– Memorial Service

Year / 2019

Pieces on this page were the result of very first stage of development of Anima project and firstly shown in the XXII Milano Triennial exhibition, 'Broken Nature: Design Takes on Human Survival' held in 2019.

​

One of the ideas lying behind this project is tribute to 'wasted’ lives of vegetables and animals. That is why, ‘memorial service’ is given as a subtitle for this service.
