Not Forgotten is a tribute to the veterans who lost their lives while serving in Afghanistan. This video installation transforms the somber imagery of a VA headstone into a narrative of sacrifice and remembrance. The video bears a fallen veteran’s name, birth, and death dates, transitioning to a map of the location where they were killed in action.
This visual journey seeks to remind us of the profound personal histories behind each name, grounding the abstract nature of war in individual lives. The stark imagery of the headstones represents the finality of loss. At the same time, the shifting to a map reveals the broader geographical context of where these lives were taken, connecting personal tragedy to global conflict.
The installation invites viewers to reflect on the personal cost of war, honoring those who served while asking us to consider the impact of their absence. Each name is a story; through this work, they are remembered not as numbers or symbols but as lives that matter.
