In a consumer society, more and more goods and services, more and more human experience and aspects of everyday life are becoming commodities. The desire for possession, to one degree or another, is characteristic of any person. In turn, the whole economic life of mankind and its basis - the phenomenon of property - is based on this very natural desire. But absolutely everything that a person consumes has an expiration date.
The question arises whether a person has such a term, and if so, how to define it? Culture is a system of symbols that is necessary for a person to feel the value of life, it's meaning. Cultural foundations are designed to control the horror of death, allowing you to lead a meaningful life.



Horror management theory states that the basic psychological conflict is the result of a person's desire to live, but understands the inevitability of death.
The solution is a unique phenomenon - a culture that distinguishes and elevates man above other animals.


The project was presented at the LNAM Gallery in Lviv,at the exhibition of the winners of the NONSTOPMEDIA Festival in Kharkiv, and now is in the collection of the Korsakiv Museum of Contemporary Art in Lutsk.
