About Grief Box Project

My commitment to The Grief Box Project is to gather and safeguard stories of grief in the present while ensuring they endure into the future. I am creating structures of stewardship so this archive will remain intact and be unveiled a century from now.

The artist, a filmmaker and death doula, works at the intersections of grief, memory, and collective storytelling. With a background in fine arts, photography, and decades of documentary filmmaking, this practice has always centered on witnessing lives, amplifying overlooked voices, and honoring what remains after loss.

The Grief Box Project grew out of personal encounters with grief and has evolved into a multidisciplinary public artwork that invites communities to share their stories, create an archive, and preserve memory across generations.

The artist’s anonymity is intentional and essential. By stepping back from individual recognition, the focus remains on the stories themselves—on what is shared, remembered, and carried forward. In this way, the work is both deeply personal and wholly collective, a space where private mourning becomes part of a shared, enduring history.
