SHROUD
A shroud is a last embrace.
In Belgium, it's possible to be buried or cremated
in a shroud.
The use of a shroud is an age-old custom.
Covered in soft fabric instead of a coffin,
the body is given back to nature.
Everyone dies.
However, in our culture death is often tucked away.
A shroud is a natural way of saying goodbye,
without hiding.
You cover your loved one, one last time.
A close connection.
Space is given to intimacy and affection.
It reduces the distance between then and now, the here and there.
