About Death is a design-specific work that addresses its own mortality, death and farewell in three parts. The criticism of today's approach to dying and repression of the topic from everyday life leads to the personal work and reflects on the perception of dying as a shapable last phase of life. Modern medicine has not only prolonged the dying process, dying processes can be more accurately anticipated through medical and professional research and care. The dying phase can be planned and shaped. Living and working environments are emerging that deal intensively with the topic of death and not only include the dying.

The Altar, as the last part of the work, asks about a contemporary place for mourning and farewell processes. Cemetery forests have been gaining popularity for years and seem to have answers to the special needs of loved ones that conventional cemeteries often lack. Places of worship in cemetery forests are often built with wood from their own forest, offering the local resource as a material. In the design, these are used to create an altar, inspired by the monumental stone tombs of England.
