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 blanket  aims to highlight the dying process as a shapable, final phase in a person's life. If we follow model courses, dying can last from fractions of a second to years, depending on the life-ending process. Here, too, things take on roles. They mark the beginning and end of transitions and create possibilities for orientation within the dying process. A blanket symbolically embraces the dying and loved ones, derived from the word pallium, palliare - Latin for cloak, to put on a mantle.
