Located on Launchpad 14 at Cape Canaveral, the project explores the ancient Greek obsession with the Moon and its goddesses, representing the human desire for immortality. Suspended by a geostationary satellite, the building becomes a threshold between celestial and ethereal realms. This temple of immortality holds a crematorium where ashes of the dearly departed can be launched via 'The Vessel of Immortality' to the Moon, granting entry to the celestial realm. Above this lies a moon crater recreated on Earth that acts as a lunar shrine, allowing loved ones to visit those lost and sent to the stars.
