骨灰喂鸟器
Human Ash Bird Feeder


这个设计的主题是死亡。“死亡是每个人都要面对的，我们对亡者的对待方式却没有太多的选择，当然也没有人挑战我们现有的道德体系。”

这是个喂鸟器，是拿鸟食、蜂蜡和人的骨灰做成的。当小鸟眷顾后，只剩下个空壳和刻有死者碑文的木板。“骨灰是掺和在鸟食中，好让鸟一起吃掉。”Jarvis说。

其实有点天葬的味道，死者的肉身进入鸟类的腹中，死者的灵魂在天空中自由飞翔。


While some designers aim to shock just for the sake of it, others are sensitively attempting to solve problems related to issues that were once considered taboo. “Death is taboo - in fact it is one of the last taboos in Western society,” says Nadine Jarvis, one of many designers exploring issues such as cremation and burial. “Death is something that everyone has to deal with, yet there aren’t many options for our treatment of the deceased, and certainly none are very challenging to our existing belief systems”
