I’m mourning all the lost bodies across time and space evokes sorrow for the bodies that have fallen through the cracks of the system; the human and the more-than-human. Lebrusan is affected by the loss of kids to wars, females to gender violence, adolescents to knife crime, diamond miners to greed… And the loss of ecosystems and bodies of water, too. The silver coating encasing this rose renders it immortal, whilst causing death by suffocation. It serves to freeze a moment in time, crystallising the preciousness of what is lost.
