1.0 introduction
Death is a mysterious thing. No one ever experienced death since no one can return from death to tell us what it is like. All we do is making assumption of what it would be like or how it is going to be. Hence, people create their own belief about death. Some people argue death as a positive thing, some argue it as a negative thing, and some might ignore the issue of death. With the discussion on death still progressing, no one can define the death in definite manner since there is no right or wrong answers to it. Death is an infinite question of human nature.
2.0 design proposal: thesis
People are often aware of death whether they have experienced or not of losing their loved ones. They think about it deep inside, knowing that someday we all die. But people avoid talking about dying until death face up to reality, not realizing the affective influences that death can bring to our lives. People assume the death as the far future event of their lives. But the reality is not. No one knows what is going to happen in the future. Through this project, we want to create awareness about death to help them appreciate their lives now and grasp enchanting experiences of sharing in life stories.

• Collect a range of opinions on death in general.
• Interview people about their perception and acceptance of
death.

approaches to the project.
2.1.2 visual research
- Varieties of photographs or illustrations that inspire similar
feelings, moods and atmosphere of the proposed project.

- Images and colours that are relevant to death and its ambien
2.2 problem
People don’t prepare for death. They think the death as the distance future event, but no one know what is going to happen in the future. Therefore, people don’t know how to deal when it comes to their own or their loved ones’ death. The death influences people’s life and brings affective changes to it.
