Not Signed
Silkscreen and embossing on Fabriano

Description:
The viewer is presented with two wreaths each containing a patterned unique symbol.  The wreath is reminiscent of funerary wreaths.  In these wreaths a portrait of the deceased would usually be represented, however the portrait is replaced with unique symbols reminding the viewer of loss and confronting the viewer with the role that technology plays in the grieving process today.
