Memory Eternal | Вічна Пам'ять

Designed for Oculus

First Exhibited 2023 in Coimbra, Portugal at the ELO Media Arts Festival

This work emerges in the wake of a global trauma, and expresses grieving at two scales – personal and collective. In the wake of crises, what do we want to remember and how? What futures should we imagine? How does care ground a wounded world?
