“The artists pay tribute to that liminal condition of irresolvable ambivalence and perpetual agony, sharing reflections defiantly suspended within a restless space of elegiac whispers. Against this disorienting alienation, to insist on remembering is to counter erasure, to resist the conditions that wrought grief in the first place.”
