Abscission

By  Katie Taylor 2019
Encapsulating the moment of death in the minds of survivors, an imagined memory. Lead casts of the empty space left after the impact of a bullet hang over the grave. Disjointed awkward bodies lie beneath. Weeds grow as a marker, a reminder of the continuation of life and a reminder that history can be forgotten.
