A space that can hold grief

In Loving, In Loss is a participatory art installation designed by local artist Olivia Mulvey Morawiecki. This moving piece explores the profound experience of loss and grief, honoring it as an inevitable and universal part of life.  It  invites us to reflect on love, memory, and our connections, awakening a deep sense of compassion for ourselves and others who have been touched by love and loss.
