In loving memory...

Back when I was looking up quotations at first I started out looking into Famous Last Words. Because it seemed like a good thing to look into when keeping in mind the Brief. Since I assumed people would try to summarize their entire experience in one single dying breath. Despite how morbid the subject seems I came across a lot of amusing ones, which spoke chapters about the people who left them behind. My brain then came to a brilliant idea. Gravestones. 


I started looking into it as quickly as possible and the results did not disappoint. Especially since when chatting to people about my findings I saw a lot of different reactions for it. Some laughed, some questioned others thought it was plain ought moronic. Thus it seemed obvious that this was a perfect example to continue researching or fitting into my own project, mainly because a gravestone (to some extent just as the roadside example) is HAVING a conversation (despite of the lacking the ability to progress it).
