A life cut short, Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York, 2013

A bouquet of red, white and blue artificial flowers contrasts with the eroded sculpture of a child named Georgie. The weathered grave marker tells us that this child died many years ago – the cemetery itself dates back to 1838. The image asks us to consider the donor of those flowers. Is this child still remembered by family descendants? Or is the poignant memory of a life cut short cause enough for strangers to pay such tribute?
