Situated within the American Embassy in Baghdad, this project serves as a memorial to the loss of life and culture that has devastated Iraq in recent decades. The project aims to demonstrate American support towards Iraq, striving to foster an improved sense of diplomacy between both countries.
The project places a special emphasis on remembering all that has been lost throughout Iraq. Through a curated experience, visitors are able to explore and contemplate whilst moving through a series of heavy and somber spaces.
