Before I Die I want to...
Te Omanga Hospice has created a 'Before I Die' wall in celebration of Dying to Know Day in August. The wall is part of a global art project that invites people to contemplate death and reflect upon their lives by asking "Before I Die I want to..."
Originally created by Candy Chang on an abandoned house in New Orleans after the death of a loved one, there are now more than 5,000 walls in 78 countries and 36 languages.
