With an interest in geography, understood as the entanglement of life forms attached to, and unfolding through, a place, Kayle comes to Huế with the desire to explore how people here preserve life, or conversely, how life is nurtured by humans. This exploration focuses specifically on beliefs, behaviors, and practices surrounding death and funerary rituals. More precisely, Kayle is drawn to the life of a particular object - the coffin, and how it enters, interacts with, and influences human life.
