A tragic fire starts from the oxygen tanks, imposed in the mandatory protocols in a Romanian intensive care unit for infectious diseases. Seven women carbonized were found tied up to their beds in the locked room, revealing inhumane patient treatments. The victims were thrown naked in plastic bags. The burial ceremonies and the identification of the bodies were forbidden. News reported it was necessary for people to die.
The images are created on a black mortuary bag shot in UV light, to emphasize forensic procedure and present a photographic artistic interpretation of each testimony.
