The work grapples with the simplicity of rituals in our everyday lives and the importance that can be discovered behind them. Specifically focusing on the act of burying, “BURIAL SIGHTS 2020”, researcheS the idea of immortalization through burial.  

As human beings, the most primate and instinctual need in our lives is the act of reproduction. Reproduction serves as our only way to make sure our DNA is passed on in order to reassure that our imprint is left on the surface of the earth. In that same primate and instinctual manner, artists seek immortalization through reproduction of their art.  

When focusing on the simple rituals that take place in our everyday lives, we can come to question the series of particular events that occur in our reality. By doing so, we can discover that not everything is done mechanically but most times out of need of some ritual. This sense of ritual can then provide a way for us to imprint traces of ourselves, like creating fossils.  

Specifically focusing on the act of burying, one can achieve perseverance of an object and therefore immortalize the idea of it through burial. When realizing the act of burial as an artistic process rather than just a mundane action, the grave can become our canvas and its remnants an immortalization of self. This odd juxtaposition of life through burial pivots around the idea of limitless limits, how both terms of burial and life seem to cancel but at the same time complement one another.
