There is a moment when death becomes something we all must carry. The weight of loss and grief, but also of love and longing. Akari gives these feelings a personal form for the rituals and spaces of contemporary life.

Inspired by Japanese lanterns, its shape carries not only ashes, but traces of who we were. The urn becomes the final thing we carry for someone we love. But it is also a quiet image of how to remember them, and how we choose to let them go.
