fragment 1

an old lover's words echo across the space between me and the mirrors on the wall. it's really late, do you want to stay? no. selfish reasons. desperation in the way you grasp my hand. the stars you grant my soul are temporary

midterm review 3.10.14 / Fluctuating Archive of Loss

The archive capitalizes on flexible and communal capacities of memory. Depositors contribute artifacts of displaced homelands or lost loved ones, positioning these in collective grief or reverential isolation. Considered alone or in juxtaposition, each artifact has diverse potential associations. A reading room provides access to the personal histories of artifacts as recorded by depositors. Communal spaces for memorial services and group therapy activate the building as a secular site of reflection and spiritual narrative.
