The Honda Civic VI Fastback (1999-2022) emerges as a token of an artificial entity — a revered object embodying the emotional and affective connections forged through human-technology interaction. The work depicts the act of 'dying' through multiple iterations and strong visual elements, presenting the car’s speculative realities as a legitimation process of its own death.

Viewers are invited to incorporate the driver’s seat and to witness the death of this non-fictional entity (laden with personal memories and experiences), integrating the exhibition space as part of an interactive narrative that raises questions on themes of artificial death, rituality and spirituality, accompanied by a continuous feed of collisions and solemn monologue reflecting on these subjects.
