Flowers From "McKee"

My contribution to the Funeral project was a bouquet of paper lilies and a condolence card. Through these objects, I was hoping to illustrate the role that Paul McKee currently plays in the Old North community. He has involved himself by buying up properties, but remains an outsider. To highlight this tension between his involvement and his unawareness, I created a very generic funeral offering. Lilies are one of the most common flowers found in funeral bouquets. Made out of paper, this particular bunch is cold and detached from reality. The condolence card simply reads, "May God be with you during this difficult time." Out of context, it's a pretty generic funeral sentiment (I found it on an online list of condolences), but when given to someone who has just lost their chapel, it makes the giver seem unaware of the situation. They appear to only be going through the motions of giving comfort.
