URN SCULPTURE "ROOM OF SILENCE" WITH THE URN "BALL OF LOVE"
The place of final rest and the preceding burial culture represent a rather taboo subject Complex of topics in a society trimmed for youthfulness and fixation on experiences. Thomas Schär has been developing and selling urns under the label urne.ch since 1998, which are an alternative to traditional burial culture. An urn should be in his people Reflect uniqueness and show the origin of life. Nothing stands for it more than that Universe where all life began. This universe, also called the cosmos, is associated with the globe of the earth equated. The urn "ball of love", made of painted steel and aluminum is embedded in the enclosing hemispheres of the sandstone urn sculpture "Room of Silence".
