The installation reflects the burial customs of the ruling dynasty and the higher imperial bureaucracy of the Han era, who believed that a jade suit would ensure their eternal life and keep their bodies incorrupt. The project aims to encapsulate the set of ideological practices of the simulative empire of militaristic eurasianism, and the irrationality and retrograde nature of russian kleptocracy. Instead of heavenly jade, the burial suit is assembled from copper plates, where oxidation develops the camouflage age of the regime's criminal intentions, knitted together by human anger and pain.
