Artist's Comments

Here's the story behind the photo..

In Greece we put the dead out of their graves after their flesh has all gone "dust to dust" which is approximately 5-6 years.. After that we place the remain bones into a box and the box into a bigger room with other boxes etc.

Some time ago when I visited one of these places I had noticed what you see in the picture..
There's this box with the bones of a married couple in it. But it's written under their photo that the man passed away in 1948 and his wife in 1998, which is 50 years later.. So she was a widow and lonely for half a century and now death not only did them apart but brought them together and put their bodies in a warm little wooden box. .


p.s. I have erased their family names for profound reasons
