Diddo - Project Womb, 2011

Artist statement: 

“After birth, the second biggest event in life is death. And yet, across cultures, our relationship with it seems based on avoidance and denial… Why can’t we perceive it in a more positive way, and redesign its rituals to reveal rather than conceal who we really are? That’s how Project Womb was born. 

I want to change how the story is told, and how it’s presented. 

I find rectangular caskets unnatural and unfriendly. 

To me, Womb offers a design that’s in harmony with life and nature.

In essence, it’s a media-driven time capsule that makes sure your life story lives on.”
