Cemetery Island

During our class we talked about Venice being a symbol for death and dying. So to explore this idea more we went to the Cemetery Island just outside of Venice. Here we were able to explore, make art, and sort of take in the idea of death and dying.

I found this island to be sad and almost lonely. Every grave had fake flowers and was very plain. I was saddened that either family never came and visited or were unable to. I did not think I could find anything happy or joyful. I then stumbled upon this grave. I am not sure what to say about it, other than it is unique.

I hope you find a bit of joy in this bedazzled grave too.
