Requiem for the World

Birth and death are two inevitable processes, both unite all people and the emotions connected to them are known and felt by all. The laments of death interrupt our daily lives. It physically, mentally and emotionally overcomes the body and tires the spirit. Understanding Ludovico Einaudi through his album “In a Time Lapse” the listener is transported through a deep reflection on the idea of time. Looking at the present aura of the old oak common of abandoned depots along with Kensal Green cemetery and the future of its connectivity to the rest of the world through proposed HS2. It makes an old oak a globally connected site, thus a perfect area in which to develop an Awareness Centre of World Suffering in association with the UN, the WHO and UNICEF.
