It demonstrates the fragility of life in a cathartic manner, allowing people to revel in something that is less likely to happen in real life.

Visitors are able to appreciate the devastation from all angles, taking in broken furniture, walls and floating debris.
The Show Room art installation will surely make people grateful that they do not reside in war-torn countries.
