Materials: found wicker chair, found window, steel frame, hinges, thread

One day, I saw the trash cans spilling over with plastic flowers that once laid on the tombstones. I thought: Vanitas! Memento Mori! The 17th Century Dutch Still-Lifes. What is the death of plastic flowers?
After collecting the plastic flowers I submerged them in wax and placed them in an open casket. Viewing of the work becomes a ritual akin to a funeral, envisioning a procession lasting a thousand years—the time it takes for plastic to decompose.
