Utilizing photographs of Laotians who have been directly affected by the war and clandestine bombings, this interactive work projects black and white images onto functional paper lanterns. Reminiscent of a traditional "spirit house," the installation gently guides a rememberance and honoring of those lost, while also evoking the interplay of light and shadow, illusion and truth.
