Private Project

rise, Rose, risen

How do we accept death taking people away from us?
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

By linking images to the five phases of grief, the film navigate us through the aching pain of loss. Not only is ‘rise, risen, Rose’ a memoir to artist and friend Roos Van De Velde, it's a research on our view on the mysterie of death. Can we trust the cycle of life?
