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.
