Drawing from classical psychology on grief and mourning, a network of paths and pedestrian nodes are woven through the pine forest and oak savanna, allowing for private reflection, and a deeply personal sequence through the space. Ceremonial chapel spaces and scattering grounds are located on areas of high elevation, and are demarcated by sculptural lighting elements visible from afar.
