Judy Hussie Taylor gave the artists this quote by philosopher Judith Butler about grief and mourning as a point of departure:

When we lose certain people, or when we are dispossessed from a place, or a community, we may simply feel that we are undergoing something temporary, that mourning will be over and some restoration of prior order will be achieved. But maybe when we undergo what we do, something about who we are is revealed, something that delineates the ties we have to others, that shows us that these ties constitute what we are, ties or bonds that compose us. . . ― Judith Butler, Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence
