Our weight in ashes is 3,5% of our body mass, I have ordered my ashes in blue, I want to become blue stardust reaching the moon (2015) installation / 1.75 kg of glitter, marble plate, pedestal / 1 × 0.60 × 1 m 

About / On top of a round marble plate is a pile of blue glitter weighing of 1.75 kilograms—the equivalent of the artist’s weight after cremation. The blue stardust-like flecks, poured vertically to form a fragile cone, allude both to our progressively artificial composition and to dreams of fame and immortality.
