"Paradise garden" Funeral center Dela Goes
The design is based on a paradise garden. A hopeful comforting garden which visualises that life will be returned to the nature. And as a result of this, it will grow again. The eternal circle of life and death. I think that is a comforting thought.
This can be seen in the images.

The images:
- The stems imaginatively consume the cells / molecules as nutrients. This can be seen in the colored balls at various places in the stems.
- The buds and flowers on the stems visualize a new young growth. The new life.
- The birds are comforting, the hummingbird drinks the nectar from the flowers. The dragonflies are a very old living organism.
- The wings in the background symbolize flying of live and rising above the earthly.
- The vertical lines of the stems seems to emit an allure that refers to a stained glass in a church.
- In a vertical middle part a section remains clear so the daylight comes in.
