This image is striking in making us look differently at what for most of us is probably a familiar type of landscaping, a cemetary/gravestone--the image invites us to see an ecosystem that exists in some kind of tension with the designed compartmentalization of space. The caption draws out more exactly the terms of this tension, the uneasiness of how the chemicals the living choose for the dead are toxic in ways we seem to willfully obfuscate or distance ourselves from with burial architecture and practices.
