Berlin, Germany

A gravestone-like pedestal with the inscription “Zu früh für uns, doch Gottes Wille” (“Too early for us, but God’s will”) stands in the space like a monument.

The bright neon light installed above dazzles the eyes while reading.

The smooth surfaces of the aluminum plate and the gravestone reflect light and darkness in different dimensions, making visible how transcendence and emptiness cross on the same surface.
