Life & Death Museum

Project idea

The main idea of this project rooted in Rumi’s thoughts (a Persian poet) about life and death reflected in one of his poem (I died from minerality and became vegetable; And From vegetativeness I died and became animal. I died from animality and became man. Then why fear disappearance through death? Next time I shall die, Bringing forth wings and feathers like angels; After that, soaring higher than angels -What you cannot imagine, I shall be that).
