Compost

The Compost Project delves into existentialist philosophy, exploring a world that doesn't end with our deaths, where humans return to their everyday lives. But what about my body? This was the question that arose when my brother sent me a picture of a tree he had planted above our father's grave. I looked at that picture and imagined the growth and stretching of that tree, a tree that needs no fertilizer because my father's body lies beneath its roots. This led me to envision my own body, lifeless, lying in a corner of this world. Perhaps animals or plants nourish from it. Perhaps the only meaningful contribution I can make to this world is for my lifeless body to transform into compost, into organic compost.
