Sailing of the Ark of the Soul

Rising sea levels are also a problem for the whole world and for Hart Island

Soul Ark can not only maintain the eroded coastline, but also extends to the memorial form of the seabed and saves the land for tombs

The most central area of soul ark is a memorial space for prayer, which adopts a dome space similar to the Pantheon.

The prayer table is above the pool, and the prayer table is surrounded by surrounding seats

The lighting at the top of the dome is also a symbol of the cross on the ground

After the corpse is treated, the calcium and other elements are extracted and put into a degradable container

The degradable container adopts hexagonal prism shape, and multiple boxes are attached to the pillars for coral reef growth

The coral reef formed can finally protect the island from erosion
