Death

Death is an urn made out of piano keys, with a brass container set in the top. The four walls of the container are created with only the white keys, layered in ways that leaves gaps. The slots reveal the underside of the white keys and the various felt lined holes that are normally hidden. The corners of the box are articulated with the black keys. Removing the lid of the urn reveals a wood carved stamp that sits in the piano ashes. The stamp is carved with the musical rest symbol, pointing to the functionality of an urn.
