a line of sight: R e q u i e m
In this series I explore how the pursuit of immortality, shapes our soul and impacts on our relationship with an edifice to a persons existence.
Investigating the boundaries between art, nature and the man-made, I ask you to re-examine this world that surrounds you by inspecting its raw and seemingly mystical elements of recognition and remembrance - in the pursuit of one's eternal life.
As defined, a Requiem Mass is celebrated for the repose of the soul or souls of one or more deceased persons. Often, but not necessarily, it 's celebrated in the context of a funeral.
The stele, as it is called in an archaeological context, is one of the oldest forms of funerary art. Long ago, a tombstone was the stone lid of a stone coffin, or the coffin itself, and a gravestone was the stone slab that was placed over a gravesite, however today it embraces all.
They are traditional for burials in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim religions.
