Happy Cemetery



I've started work recently on a project to do with 'The Happy Cemetery' in Romania.. I came across it by chance whilst working at a school under a pile of papers. It's origin is thanks to Stan Petras back in the 1930s and has been taken on by the Pop family to this day. It has over 800 'gravestones', most depicting two sides to the deceased's life. Side A would show a nice image of how they lived most days and Side B would show how they died or how they were best known in the village. I thought I'd share with you this point of reference and show you some work inspired by this.
