Commemorating Death in Singapore
This project details a pragmatic and sustainable solution to Singapore’s death service industry by objectifying people. It acknowledges economic, environmental and ethical issues within the industry caused by land scarcity. Therefore, it challenges the ethical and environmental issues created by how Singapore handles remains. The research shows data from the National Environmental Agency (NEA) on how remains are handled in Singapore and literature about the Anthropocene, extreme utilitarian concepts and sustainability. This is to understand how the past has influenced current problems and methodologies. My development contains drafts of ideation sketches, material explorations and prototyping before the object is manufactured for curation. I strived to encapsulate the objective translate the concept into the object and curation.
