Brainstorming session

Beauty can also emerge from horror

1. What?

  • Spaces to die
  • Set someone for the afterlife
  • The death as a reflection of our own life
  • Cemetery → tombs
  • Mexican skulls → colorful

2. Where?

  • Social & political criticism
    • Mexico → difficult times
    • Organized crime-related violence has claimed 57,449 lives in Mexico during the last six years
    • 60,000 (Mex) – 150,000 (USA)
  • Beauty can also emerge from horror

3. How?

The challenge is to combine the Mexican skulls painting technic/color/shapes/idea of death, with the pain/sadness/anger caused by the death of 60,000

  • A book/yearbook with 57,449 pieces/shapes
  • A relief wall/surface with the same number of pieces. Maybe each piece will be a part of a final image/3D model
