I will tear down this temple and rebuild it in three days

The burnt coffin I created from the notebook is symbolic of the death of my past and my rebirth. It’s inspired by the Hindu concept of Samsara (rebirth). The coffin is a metaphor for the death I felt in the long pursuit of self. In the coffin is my old diary that is burnt
up and also ashes to illustrate the destruction and detachment from my old past. On the front of the coffin is a date I was born which is a hundred years before my actual year of birth and the year I died which the actual date I was born because I feel like I died the day I was born into a world divided by a lot of isms. On the back of the coffin is the year I was reborn, the year I found meaning in life.
