BARZAKH

BARZAKH is a speculative design project concerning a digital experience of death, allowing the user to virtually go through the entire process of death without actually physically dying.

Every 70 years, when the full moon and the summer solstice occur simultaneously, a portal opens. There, the user enters the imaginary world customized according to their personal data collected up to the date.

As the users move through the five levels of spiritual death, they are asked if they desire to continue or not, culminating in one final question, at the last moment: do you want to continue your physical life or end it here?
