No two funerary rituals acquire the same practices when it comes to saying goodbye to the dead. The process of achieving soul transmigration is believed to be different depending on the respective culture. The visual scroll is a subverted representation of the world’s most unusual historical and contemporary funeral traditions. Superstring theory theorises that energy vibrates in 11 dimensions to create particle and force in our universe while Schrodinger’s Cat theory focuses on the occurrence of varying possible outcomes. With the combination of both theories, we are left to question: What if the possibility of a particular death ritual in fact, belonged to another culture, in another quantum universe?
