A site-specific installation that illustrates the media desensitization on the subject of death and dying. Walking down the stairs, the blood transforms into beautiful flowers that are pleasant to look at; it is a metaphor of the numbing effect of popular culture. However, the gruesomeness of death is once again reminded when ascending the stairs.
