in love, in memory

A quiet, impressionistic memorial that moves slowly through grief and remembrance, asking you to sit with loss and history rather than solve anything.

Overview

After losing her firstborn son to gun violence, a mother gathers cherished memories and erased histories to connect his death to her city’s haunting legacy of racism. Refusing the carceral frameworks of true crime, this impressionistic counter-narrative refracts quiet scenes of artistic intervention, community storytelling and tender remembrance through a prism of passing time.
