A Sense of Loss
How do people deal with loss? A loved one is gone, but we aren't willing to end the conversation. There is news to share, questions to ask. So we return to their final resting place. The grave is a place to continue the dialogue. There are still birthdays to celebrate, holidays to observe, stories to re-tell. Life continues...
"A Sense of Loss" is a series of photographs taken at Forest Lawn Cemetery over the course of an entire year. The images focus on the holiday decor that visiting family and friends leave at the graves. Cards, balloons, drink & food, things that they hope will cheer the spirits of those they've lost. More to the point, they hope will cheer their own saddened spirit.
