Turn me in diamonds
by Rebecca, SA
Artist / Engineer, Aged 26
When we die people often hang onto mementos of us such as jewellery photos etc. I told my husband after seeing this exibition I'd turn him into a piece of jewellery that would be completed after I die . It would then be given to the grandkids. That way I could justify the expense of the whole funeral diposal process as there would be something left of sentimental and money value. Image people saying "what lovely necklace" and the reply being "Its my grandparents literally"
