marking flags

In Everything You Want to Declare, a constellation of small marking flags punctuates the manicured surface of a grave site, their fluorescent tones interrupting the quiet landscape. Commonly deployed to signal boundaries or points of construction, the flags are repurposed here as instruments of remembrance, indexing a site of loss while insisting on visibility. The work situates grief as a public utterance rather than a private interior state, proposing mourning as something that seeks articulation and repetition.
