Hundertwasser’s comment on the work
Here an ecological burial method is already anticipated. In it, the dead are buried in harmony with nature and creation, integrated into an ecological whole, returned to a higher order. In this way there would be no more cemeteries, but just a respected, sanctified nature which goes on reproducing, with trees growing.
